RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effect of Xuesetong Dripping Pills combined with alprostadil intervention on serum brain natriuretic peptide in elderly patients with chronic congestive heart failure.Methods In 74 patients with chronic congestive heart failure, were randomly divided into observation group and control group, 37 cases in each group.Control group received conventional method.The observation group received Xuesetong Dripping Pills combined with alprostadil on the basis of conventional therapy.Compared the efficacy, the heart function level, walking test and level of serum brain natriuretic peptide between two groups after 15 days’ treatment.Results The total efficiency of observation group was 94.59%, which was higher than 75.68% in the control group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment, the heart function level improvement in the observation group was better than the control group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment, 6 min walking test in the observation group(316.4 ±20.7) m, was better than the control group(303.5 ±28.1) m, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The level of serum brain natriuretic peptide in the observation group(608.9 ±158.1)ng/L, was lower than that of the control group(792.7 ±179.4) ng/L, the difference was statistically significant ( P <0.05 ) .Conclusion Xuesetong Dripping Pills combined with alprostadil has good curative effect in the treatment of chronic congestive heart failure,can relieve the abnormal increase of serum brain natriuretic peptide, improve blood circulation and heart function.
