ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the intervention effect of the compound polygonum cuspidatum sieb.et Zucc.grain on endothelium dependent dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease.Methods:Twenty-four patients with both confirmed diagnosis of coronary artery disease(diagnosed by coronary arteriography) and endothelium dependent dilation(EDD) [expressed by flow mediated dilation(FMD) examined through high-resolution ultrasound] were enrolled into this investigation.They were divided into Group CAD,and Group HZ at random.Each group consisted of 12 patients.Group HZ,was administered the compound polygonum cuspidatum sieb.et Zucc.grain 10 grams per time,three times a day for 14 consecutive days.EDD0 and EDD14 were examined before and after the administration of the compound polygonum cuspidatum sieb.et Zucc.grain for 14 days.Group of normal control(Group NC) consisted of 12 age-and sex-matched healthy people.Results:EDD0 and EDD14 were(11.76?0.95)% and(11.83?0.70)% in Group NC,(5.37?1.15)% and(5.50?1.01)% in Group CAD which had significant difference compared with Group NC,(5.62?1.22)% and(9.84?1.83)% in Group HZ which were significantly different from those in Group NC.In GroupHZ,EDD14 was higher than EDD0 and had no significant difference compared with Group NC.Conclusion:The compound polygonum cuspidatum sieb.et Zucc.grain can improve endothelium-dependent dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease.
