Abstract:Objective:To observe the clinical effect of Shenqi Qiangxin tang combined with Baduanjin for senile chronic heart failure(CHF) with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome. Methods: A total of 86 cases of senile CHF patients with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table method,with 43 cases in each group. Both groups were basically treated with standard modern medical treatment; the control group was additionally treated with rehabilitation training of Baduanjin,and the observation group was given oral administration of Shenqi Qiangxin tang based on the treatment of the control group. The clinical effects in the two groups were compared. Before and after treatment,the changes in Chinese medicine syndrome scores,6-min walk distance(6MWD),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),levels of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in serum, N- terminal fragment of the pro- B- type natriuretic peptide(NT- proBNP), red cell aggregation, platelet aggregation rate, and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire(MLHFQ) scores in the two groups were compared. Both groups were given three- month follow- up, and the incidences of adverse reactions in the two groups were observed. Results: After treatment, the total effective rate of clinical effect was 90.70% in the observation group and 74.42% in the control group,the difference being significant(P<0.05). After treatment, Chinese medicine syndrome scores in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment, and 6MWD was increased when compared with that before treatment,differences being significant(P<0.05);Chinese medicine syndrome score in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the value of 6MWD was higher, differences being significant(P<0.05). After treatment, the LVEF values in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment, and the levels of NT- proBNP and cTnT were decreased when compared with those before treatment, differences being significant(P<0.05). After treatment, the LVEF value in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the levels of NT- proBNP and cTnT were lower, differences being significant(P<0.05). After treatment, red cell aggregation and platelet aggregation rates in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment,and the red cell aggregation and platelet aggregation rate in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, differences being significant(P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of physical condition, emotional state and other situations in MLHF- Q in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment,and the scores in the MLHF-Q in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,differences being significant(P<0.05). During the followup period, the incidence of adverse reactions was 16.28% in the observation group and 11.63% in the control group, there being no significant difference(P>0.05). Conclusion: Based on modern medicine, the additional application of Shenqi Qiangxin tang combined with Baduanjin for CHF has a definite curative effect,and can effectively improve clinical symptoms,heart function indexes and quality of life.
