Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo retrospective analyze the short- and long-term therapeutic effect of TCM treatment based on syndrome differentiation on bradyarrhythmia.
METHODSData of 116 patients with bradyarrhythmia treated by TCM based on syndrome differentiation from 1995 to 2005 were collected. The changes of clinical symptoms and their outcomes as well as the 24h-dynamic cardiogram were evaluated. And a 1-5 years follow-up study was conducted to survey the heart rhythm, heart rate, drugs applied and artificial cardiac pacemaker (ACP) installation in the patients.
RESULTSAfter 3 months' treatment, the total effective rate was 91.4%. During the 1-5 years of follow-up, except 6 patients received ACP installation, all the others were alive in stable condition, and no obvious side effect was found.
CONCLUSIONTCM treatment based on syndrome differentiation has reliable and stable therapeutic effects on bradyarrhythmia.
