ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the efficacy of irbesartan combined with metoprolol in the treatment of chronic congestive heart failure.Methods From April 2015 to April 2016,60 patients with chronic congestive heart failure in Central Hospital of Zhuji were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,30 cases in each group.The two groups were given conventional treatment,the control group was treated with metoprolol,and the observation group was treated with irbesartan combined with metoprolol.The changes of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD),left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD),heart rate,systolic pressure and diastolic pressure before and after treatment in two groups were observed.And the clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared.Results After treatment,compared with the control group,the heart function index of the observation group changed obviously,LVEF increased (t=5.88,P＜0.01),LVESD and LVEDD significantly decreased (t=7.19,4.11,all P＜0.01).The heart rate of the observation group was significantly slowed down (t=2.72,P＜0.01),systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were also significantly reduced (t=2.93,3.98,all P＜0.01).The total effective rate of the observation group was 93.3％,which of the control group was 73.3％,the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.32,P＜0.05).ConclusionIrbesartan combined with metoprolol in the treatment of chronic congestive heart failure has significant clinical efficacy,is conducive to ease the clinical symptoms and improve heart function effectively.
