Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of Xinshuning mixture in the treatment of patients with diastolic heart failure (DHF) and its effect on brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and C-reactive protein (CRP). Methods From January 2015 to December 2015 in the Department of Cardiology of our hospital, 120 cases of DHF patients were randomly divided into Xinshuning group and control group with 60 cases in each group. The control group accepted Western medicine treatment, and the Xinshuning group accepted both Xinshuning mixture and Western medicine. The treatment lasted for 2 months. The effect was compared between the 2 groups after treatment. Results After treatment, 6-min-walking distance, heart color Doppler peak E/A and left ventricular ejection fraction increased in the Xinshuning group compared to those in the control group (p < 0.05), while isovolumic relaxation time was significantly shortened in the Xinshuning group (p < 0.05). After treatment, the peripheral blood levels of BNP, CA125 and CRP in the Xinshuning group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). After 2 months of treatment, the total efficiency was 95.00% (57/60) in the Xinshuning group which was higher than 81.67% (49/60) in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusions Xinshuning mixture can significantly improve cardiac function of DHF patients, reduce the serum levels of BNP, CA125 and CRP, and improve the clinical treatment effect.
