ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of Wenxin Particle combined with amiodarone in the treatment of premature ventricular beats.Methods 78 cases with premature ventricular beats were divided into observation group(n=40)and control group(n=38).The observation group was treated with Wenxin Particle and amiodarone,the control group was treated amiodarone with only.The improvement of clinical symptoms and premature ventricular beats and the side effects were observed.Results Total effective rate was 78.94％ in control group,92.50％ in observation group.There was a significantly statistical difference between two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Wenxin Particle combined with amiodarone in treating premature ventricular beats can improve the clinical effect and have no obvious side effect,so it is worth being used widely.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the mechanism of ventricular dilation-induced arrhythmias by dilating isolated rat hearts. Methods Isolated rat hearts were perfused by Langerdorff method. After equilibration, 80 hearts were randomly divided into four groups as follows: (1) control group (n=20), (2) Ca2+ preconditioning (CPC) group (n=20), (3) streptomycin group (n=20), and (4) CPC + streptomycin group (n=20). A latex balloon which can be filled with fluid was anchored in the left ventricle through the left atrium and mitral valve. Epicardial ECG of the left ventricle, left ventricular pressure, coronary flow and heart rate were recorded before and during ventricular dilation by injecting fluid into the latex balloon. The rate and duration of ventricular dilation-induced arrhythmias were recorded. Results Under the same increase in ventricular end-diastolic pressure made by inflation of the balloon, the rate of arrhythmias was 100% and duration of arrhythmias was 2.56±0.46 s in the control group. Both the rates of premature ventricular beat (90 %) and ventricular tachycardia 70 % ) were high. Compared with the control group, the total rate (60 % ) of arrhythmias was lower, and duration (1.67±0.61 s ) of arrhythmias was shorter in the CPC group. Both the rates of premature ventricular beat (60%) and ventricular tachycardia (40%) were low comparatively. The rate of arrhythmias (45 %) was lower and duration ( 1.64±0.42 s)of arrhythmias was shorter, and the rates of premature ventricular beat (30 % ) or ventricular tachycardia (35 %) were lower in the streptomycin group than in the control one. The least ventricular dilation-induced arrhythmias occurred in the CPC + streptomycin group. The rate of arrhythmias (10%) was the lowest and duration (1.01±0.37s) of arrhythmias was the shortest; both the rates of premature ventricular beat (5%) and ventricular tachycardia (10%) were the lowest. Conclusions Ventricular dilation may induce arrhythmias in isolated rat hearts. Stretch-activated ion channel and the increase in [Ca2+]I are supposed to play important roles in the pathological mechanism.

ABSTRACT
AIM:To find a new way of treating premature beats(PB) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yi-(xinshu) Capsule(Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng,Radix et Rhizoma Salviae miltiorrhizae,Radix Ophiopogonis,Radix Astragali,etc.) METHODS:Randomized,controlled clinical study were conducted in 60 patients with atrial premature beats(APB),and 60 patients with premature ventricular beats(PVB).APB patients were randomly divided into two groups:Yixinshu Capsule plus Isoptin(study group,n=30) and Isoptin group(control group,n=30).PVB patients:Yixinshu Capsule plus Mexiletine(study group,n=30) and Mexiletine group(control group,n=30).Those patients were treated for four weeks.We used 24 h Holter to monitor the times of PB and myocardial ischemia in before and after treatment.RESULTS:In the study group and control group,the times of APB and PVB were decreased obviously after 4 weeks treatment(P
