ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the curative effects of irbesartan, amiodarone and Wenxin Granule (WG), applied alone or in combination, on sinus rhythm maintenance in patients with auricular fibrillation (AF) after conversion.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Forty-one patients of persistent AF, after their fibrillation being converted, were divided into three groups randomly, and treated with amiodarone (group A, n=14), irbesartan and amiodarone (group B, n=15), and WG plus irbesartan and amiodarone (group C, n=12) respectively for 6 months.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with that before treatment, the inner diameter of atria sinistrum reduced in group B and C, and the reduction in the latter was superior to that in the former (P < 0.05); the diameter of left ventricle also reduced in group C (P < 0.05); and the maintenance rate of sinus rhythm was higher in group C than that in group A (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Combined therapy of Chinese and Western medicines shows synergistic effect of anti-arrhythmia.</p>
