Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Shensong Yangxin Capsules combined with trazodone in patients with chronic insomnia following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable angina pectoris.Methods Eighty-four patients with stable angina undergoing PCI who developed postoperative chronic insomnia between April 2022 and March 2025 at Baoji People's Hospital were enrolled. Patients were randomly assigned to the observation group or the control group using a random number table, with 42 patients in each group. Both groups received standard postoperative management. The control group received conventional treatment supplemented with trazodone. The observation group was additionally given Shensong Yangxin Capsules. Sleep quality, inflammatory markers, myocardial injury indicators, polysomnography findings, and cardiovascular adverse events were compared between groups.Results The change in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores from baseline to post-treatment was greater in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The pre-to-post treatment differences in interleukin-6, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and tumor necrosis factor-α levels were greater in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The pre-to-post treatment differences in brain natriuretic peptide and heart-type fatty acid-binding protein levels were greater in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The pre-to-post treatment differences in the number of awakenings, slow-wave sleep duration, and sleep latency were all greater in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The overall incidence of cardiovascular adverse events was lower in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion The combination of Shensong Yangxin Capsules and trazodone improves sleep quality in patients with chronic insomnia following percutaneous coronary intervention for stable angina pectoris. It enhances polysomnography parameters, reduces inflammatory responses and myocardial damage, and lowers the risk of cardiovascular adverse events.
