Abstract:Objective To probe into the combined application value of Shensong Yangxin capsules combined with recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide in patients with refractory heart failure. Methods From January 2013 to December 2014, 86 patients with refractory heart failure were selected in our hospital. The patients were divided into treatment group and control group with 43 cases in each group. The refractory heart failure patients in the control group were treated with recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide as clinical drug therapy. Those patients in the treatment group were treated with recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide combined with Shensong Yangxin capsules as clinical drug therapy. The clinical treatment effect was analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the total effective rate was significantly increased (93.02%), the ineffective rate was significantly decreased (6.98%) in the treatment group (p < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the left ventricular end systolic diameter, left ventricular end diastolic diameter, left ventricular end systolic volume and left ventricular end diastolic volume were significantly reduced, while the left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly increased in the treatment group (p < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the cardiac troponin I (cTnI), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide prosoma (NTproBNP) were significantly reduced in the treatment group (p < 0.05). Conclusions Shensong Yangxin capsules combined with recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide could actively improve cardiac function, and effectively regulate neuroendocrine factors, and fundamentally improve the clinical efficacy for patients with refractory heart failure.
