ABSTRACT
Objective :To explore effects of Baduanjin combined medication on cardiac rehabilitation in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods :A total of 106 AMI cases treated in our hospital were enrolled .Ac-cording to random number table ,they were randomly and equally divided into medication group (received Tongxin-luo based on routine treatment ) and combined treatment group (received Baduanjin exercise based on medication group) ,both groups were treated for four weeks .Left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) ,left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESd) ,left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ,levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α ,high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP) ,interleukin (IL)-6 and N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were observed and compared between two groups .Results : Total effective rate of combined treatment group was significantly higher than that of medication group (92.45% vs.75.47%,P＝0.017).Compared with be-fore treatment ,after treatment , there were significant rise in LVEDV and LVEF , and significant reductions in LVESd ,levels of hsCRP ,TNF-α ,IL-6 and NT-proBNP in two groups (P＜0.05 or ＜0.01).Compared with medi-cation group after treatment ,there were significant rise in LVEDV [ (153.58 ± 25.17) ml vs .(165.27 ± 25.46) ml] ,LVEF [(51.43 ± 4.28)% vs.(55.37 ± 4.26)% ] ,and significant reductions in LVESd [(33.46 ± 2.24) mm vs. (30.29 ± 2.32) mm] ,levels of hsCRP [ (4.54 ± 1.12) mg/L vs.(3.48 ± 1.05) mg/L] ,TNF-α [ (117.85 ± 15.46) ng/L vs.(96.59 ± 14.23) ng/L] ,IL-6 [ (14.38 ± 3.34) pg/ml vs.(10.67 ± 3.29) pg/ml] ,NT-proBNP [ (456.29 ± 53.76) ng/L vs.(368.49 ± 53.65) ng/L] in combined treatment group ,P＜0.05 or ＜0.01. Conclusion :Baduan-jin combined Tongxinluo capsule can effectively improve cardiac function ,reduce levels of inflammatory factors and improve therapeutic effect in patients with acute myocardial infarction .
ABSTRACT
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of death. Safflower attracts great attention owing to its anti-ischemia/reperfusion injury effect. Ninety-three patients with CAD were included and randomized into safflower treatment group, PCI group and control group. Low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) was performed to measure end-systolic volume (ESV), end-diastolic volume (EDV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and wall motion score index (WMSI) to determine the recovery of hibernating myocardium and cardiac function in all patients before treatment and after 3-month follow-up. The study was to investigate the effects of safflower on hibernating myocardial revascularization and cardiac function. It was found that LVEF was significantly improved, while the ESV and WMSI were significantly reduced after 2-week treatment in safflower and PCI treatment groups. No significant differences were found between safflower and PCI treatment groups in ESV, EDV, WMSI and LVEF after treatment Safflower injection effectively improved hibernating myocardial function.
