ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Wuling Powder and Modified Shengmai Powder on treating chronic cardiac insufficiency. Methods: 42 cases of chronic cardiac insufficiency patients with heart function ranging from NYHA class II to IV took Wuling Powder and Modified Shengmai Powder for 2 weeks to treat chronic cardiac insufficiency without changing former medication. NYHA heart function, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, heart rate, and 6-minute walk test were evaluated before and after treatment. Results: Wuling Powder and Modified Shengmai Powder decreased systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, heart rate, and increased the 6-minute walk distance significantly(P<0.01). Total effective rate was 92.9%. There was no serious side effect. Conclusion: Using samples from outpatients, this study shows Wuling Powder and Modified Shengmai Powder is effective and safe to treat chronic cardiac insufficiency.
