ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of different doses of atorvastatin in the treatment of chronic heart failure.Methods:A total of 100 patients with chronic heart failure who received treatment in the Third People's Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from June 2019 to June 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into a control group (conventional treatment + atorvastatin calcium tablet 10 mg, n = 49) and an observation group (conventional treatment + atorvastatin calcium tablet 20 mg, n = 51). Before and after 12 weeks of treatment, serum levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and inflammatory cytokines such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10) as well as ventricular remodeling (echocardiographic index) were compared between the two groups. Results:After treatment, serum level of NT-proBNP was (506.56 ± 62.37) pg/mL and (660.85 ± 74.55) pg/mL, serum level of hs-CRP was (14.74 ± 2.69) mg/L and (23.31 ± 3.45) mg/L, serum level of IL-6 was (36.77 ± 4.78) ng/L and (43.12 ± 5.22) ng/L, serum level of IL-10 was (12.36 ± 2.63) ng /L and (15.39 ± 3.56) ng/L, left ventricular end diastolic diameter was (37.74 ± 6.83) mm and (42.36 ± 7.73) mm, left ventricular ejection fraction was (45.78 ± 3.31)% and (42.63 ± 2.56)%, and the ratio of early (E wave) to late (A wave) diastolic velocities (E/A) was (1.44 ± 0.06) and (1.21 ± 0.03), respectively in the observation and control groups. There were significant differences in serum levels of NT-proBNP, hs-CRP, IL-6 and IL-10 as well as LVEDD and LVEF between the observation and control groups ( t = 3.73, 3.07, 3.58, 3.68, 2.99, 3.12 and 2.98, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Atorvastatin is beneficial to the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure. The therapeutic efficacy of 20 mg atorvastatin per day is better than that of 10 mg atorvastatin per day.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the T/P rate and smoothness index of Candesartan Cliexetil on slight and middle essential hypertension. Methods 50 patients with slight and middle essential hypertension were treated by Candesartan Cliexetil 8mg taken orally everyday,the course of treatment was 4 weeks. 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring(ABPM) was given before and after treatment, the T/P rate and smoothness index were calculated. Results Four weeks after treatment, 24h SBP(148.2±10.7) mm Hg and 24 h D BP (97.6±6.5) mm Hg, dSBP(152.5±9.8) mm Hg and dDBP(96.0±5.3) mm Hg, nSBP(138.3±7.6) mm Hg and nDBP(89.2±8.3) mm Hg, SBP load (87.5±12.2) % and DBP load (36.48±26.4) % with pre-treatment (130.2±7.2) mm Hg, (79.5±7.8) mm Hg, (133.4±7.2)mm Hg, (81.8±6.6)mm Hg,(121.9±7.3) mm Hg, (72.1±7.4) mm Hg, (84.7±9.9)%,(26.7 ±8.3) % have significant difference(P < 0.01). T/P rates were SBP 70% and DBP 63%. Smoothness indexes were SBP(1.21±0.82) and DBP(1.13±0.51). Conclusion Candesartan cilexetil in the treatment of essential hyper-tension is safe and effective,can get a good T/P ratio and smoothness index.
