Abstract:
Databases including CNKI,Wan Fang,CBM,VIP,PubMed and Cochrane Library were searched to collect qualified researches,and the quality of articles was evaluated according to scales. Meta-analysis including subgroup analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5. 3 software and Meta-regression test was performed by using Stata 12. 0 software. All of these methods were used to systematically evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of Qili Qiangxin Capsules in treatment of ischemic heart failure under two circumstances( with or without syndrome differentiation). A total of 22 randomized controlled trials( RCTs) involving 1 942 patients were included,with generally low quality. RESULTS: of Meta-analysis showed that as compared with the routine Western treatment alone,additional use of Qili Qiangxin Capsules could improve the clinical efficacy( RR = 1. 21,95%CI[1. 16,1. 27],P<0. 000 01) in treatment of ischemic heart failure,with its combined effect of syndrome differentiation group greater than that of non-syndrome differentiation group( P= 0. 03,I~2= 78. 9%),Meta-regression( sig = 0. 9,P = 0. 057); left ventricular ejection fraction( WMD = 7. 28,95% CI[5. 18,9. 38],P<0. 000 01),with combined effect of syndrome differentiation group greater than that of non-syndrome differentiation group( P= 0. 01,I2= 83. 2%),Meta-regression( I~2= 81. 09%,R2= 29. 08%,sig = 0. 47,P = 0. 029); 6-minute walk test( WMD = 33. 20,95%CI[24. 70,41. 70 ],P < 0. 000 01); left ventricular end diastolic diameter( WMD =-4. 61,95% CI[-5. 38,-3. 84 ],P <0. 000 01); left ventricular end diastolic volume( WMD =-34. 43,95%CI[-38. 81,-30. 05],P< 0. 000 01); and left ventricular end systolic volume( WMD =-9. 60,95% CI[-13. 16,-6. 05],P < 0. 000 01). Adverse effects were reported in 11 patients taking Qili Qiangxin Capsules and in 20 patients with routine treatment group,tolerable in both groups. None of the patients had obvious abnormality in liver and kidney function. Qili Qiangxin Capsules were effective and safe in the treatment of ischemic heart failure,which can further improve clinical efficacy as compared with routine treatment alone. Qili Qiangxin Capsules with syndrome differentiation showed more significant effects than those without syndrome differentiation,indicating better efficacy of clinical syndrome differentiation. However,these conclusions still need to be verified with more high-quality and large-sample literature.
