ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of salt-partitioned moxibustion plus oral administration of You Gui Wan in treating bradycardiac arrhythmias. Method Ninety-eight patients with bradycardiac arrhythmias were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 49 cases each. The treatment group was intervened by salt-partitioned moxibustion plus oral administration of You Gui Wan, while the control group was prescribed with oral administration of Atropine sulfate tablets. Before and after the treatment, the 24-h heartbeat number and mean heart rate were observed, and the clinical efficacies of the two groups were compared. Result The total effective rate was 89.8％in the treatment group versus 81.6％ in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The 24-h heartbeat number and mean heart rate were significantly changed after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05). The 24-h heartbeat number and mean heart rate of the treatment group were significantly different from those of the control group after the treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion Salt-partitioned moxibustion plus oral administration of You Gui Wan is an effective approach in treating bradycardiac arrhythmias.
