ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of Tongrnai Yangxin Pill on the serum hepcidin level of patients with Coronary Atherosclerotic Heart Disease and Anemia of Chronic Disease.Methods:Seventy patients with Coronary Atherosclerotic Heart Disease and Anemia of Chronic Disease whose age were above 40 years old were enrolled as the research group and divided into the medication group (group Ⅱ) (n=35) and the nonmedication group (group Ⅲ)(n=35),while 40 CAD patients were enrolled as the normal control group (group Ⅰ).Before and after medication,the Hepc,Hb,etc levels were compared between two groups.Results:Before medication,the levels of Hepc in the two research subgroup were significantly higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05).At 8 weeks after treatment,the Hepc level of group Ⅱ was significantly declined,and the level of Hb was increased than those before treatment (P ＜0.05);the Hepc levels of group Ⅰ and group Ⅲ showed no significant difference (P＞0.05),the Hepc levels of group Ⅱ and group Ⅲ were obviously higher than that of the control group (P ＜0.05),the Hepc levels of group Ⅲ was obviously higher than that of the group Ⅱ(P＜0.05),the Hb level of group Ⅲ was obviously lower than those of group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Tongmai Yangxin Pill could reduce the level of Hepc and enhance the Hb levels of patients with Coronary Atherosclerotic Heart Disease and Anemia of Chronic Disease.It was useful to the patients with Coronary Atherosclerotic Heart Disease and Anemia of Chronic Disease,especially patients with mild anemia.
