Clinical study on Wenyang Huoxue Jiedu Decoction combined with trimetazidine tablets in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction after interventional therapy / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Wenyang Huoxue Jiedu Decoction combined with trimetazidine tablets in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after interventional therapy.Methods:A total of 90 patients with AMI of syndrome of cold coagulation of heart vein after interventional surgery in the angshan Hongci Hospital , who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled between February 2020 and April 2021, and they were divided into two groups by the random number table method, with 45 in each group. The control group was given conventional western medicine treatments such as anti-coagulation, lipid regulation and oral administration of trimetazidine tablets, while the observation group adopted Wenyang Huoxue Jiedu Decoction on the basis of the control groups. Both groups were treated for 2 weeks. Before and after treatment, TCM symptoms were scored, and serum creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and myoglobin (MYO) were detected by ELISA. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), stroke volume (SV) and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) were detected by color ultrasonic instrument, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results:The effective rate was 95.6% (43/45) in the observation group and that in the control group was 88.9% (40/45) ( χ2=1.39, P=0.238). The scores of excruciating pain in the chest, wheezing and incapability of supination, chest tightness and shortness of breath and palpitation in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=5.07, 3.43, 4.98, 5.15, P<0.01). After treatment, the levels of CK-MB [(47.62±8.31) U/L vs. (53.49±8.27) U/L, t=3.36], cTnT [(0.48±0.16) μg/L vs. (0.63±0.25) μg/L, t=3.39] and MYO [(125.47±25.63) μg/L vs. (163.28±30.17) μg/L, t=6.41] were significantly lower in the observation group compared to the control group ( P<0.01). The LVESD [(42.15±7.04) mm vs. (46.03±7.26) mm, t=2.57] in the observation group after treatment was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P<0.05), while the LVEF [(56.73±8.34)% vs. (52.49±8.26)%, t=2.42] and SV [(71.58±4.31) ml vs. (65.47±4.23) ml, t=6.79] were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion:Wenyang Huoxue Jiedu Decoction combined with trimetazidine tablets can improve the cardiac function, alleviate the myocardial injury, relieve symptoms of patients with AMI of syndrome of cold coagulation of heart vein after interventional surgery.
