Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of Xuezhikang (XZK) combined with Ezetimibe on glucose metabolism of patients with unstable angina in prediabetes. Methods A total of 210 unstable angina patients in prediabetes were randomly divided into group A and group B. On the basis of routine treatment, the patients in the group A were given Atorvastatin 40 mg, while those in the group B were given XZK 1.2 g and Ezetimibe 10 mg. All patients were treated for 12 months. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2 -hour postprandial blood glucsose (2hPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), the number of patients of newly-diagnosed diabetes, hs-CRP, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) were examined and compared after 1, 6 and 12 months of medication. Results In the group A, FBG was significantly higher than baseline level after 6 and 12 months of medication (P < 0.05). In the group B, FBG after 6 and 12 months, 2hPG after 1, 6 and 12 months and HbA1c after 12 months were significantly lower than the baseline levels and the levels in the group A (all P < 0.05). In the group A, hs-CRP after 1, 6 and 12 months of medication, and IL-6 and TNF-α after 12 months were significantly lower than the baseline levels (all P< 0.05). In the group B, hs-CRP and TNF-α after 1, 6 and 12 months and IL-6 after 6 and 12 months were significantly lower than the baseline levels and the levels in the group A (all P< 0.05). Conclusions XZK combined with Ezetimibe can improve glucose metabolism of patients with unstable angina in prediabetes maybe through antiinflammation.
