Abstract:
This study was aimed to observe the influence of Kang-Xian Y i-Xin (KXYX) formula on the heart size and cardiac function of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). A total of 85 cases were randomly divided into the treatment group (43 cases) and the control group (42 cases, with 1 death case). Both groups were treated with routine western medicine. And the KXYX formula was combined in the treatment group once a day. Six months later, changes of the left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left atrial diameter (LAd), ejection fraction (EF) and fractional shortening (FS) were observed by ultrasonography. The results showed that both groups can reduce the LVEDD and Lad. And the effect was obvious in the treatment group (P< 0.05). There was significant difference in the LVEDD of both groups after treatment (P< 0.05). The EF and FS were raised obviously in both groups. There was significant difference before and after treatment in the treatment group (P < 0.01). There was statistical differ-ence between groups after treatment (P< 0.05). It was concluded that the KXYX formula can decrease the LVEDD, Lad, enhance EF and FS, in order to promote the cardiac function of patients with DCM.
