ABSTRACT

AIM:To investigate the protective effects of Danshen Tablet on the brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation(FMD)in the subjects accompanied with risk factors of coronary heart disease(CHD). METHODS: Fifty-five subjects were randomly assigned to two groups,therapy group(32 cases)were administrated Danshen Tablet(three tablets once,three times a day),the control group(23 cases) were received placebo and then observed their brachial artery FMD before and after three months' therapy.Meanwhile 19 healthy cases were compared with the subjects. RESULTS: The brachial artery endothelium-dependent dilation(EDD) of the subjects accompanied with risk factors of CHD was significantly lower than that in the normal group[(5.98?1.13)%,(5.95?1.14)%vs((8.11?1.25)%,) P
