Abstract:
Objective To compare the effect of Zhigancao Decoction and Zhenwu Decoction on hemodynamics, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and myocardial enzyme of elderly patients with chronic heart failure.Methods 40 elderly patients with chronic heart failure in the first affiliated hospital of the medical college, Shihezi university were selected and randomly divided into Zhigancao Decoction group (n=20) and Zhenwu Decoction group (n =20) .The both of two groups were given conventional treatment, then were treated with respective drug according to different groups with two courses, one course of two weeks.The hemodynamic, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and myocardial enzyme spectrum indexes of two groups were compared post-treatment.Results After treatment, the indexes of hemodynamics in two groups were improved, hemodynamic indexes of Zhigancao Decoction recovered better than those of Zhenwu Decoction (P<0.05) .The serum MMP-9, MMP-9/TIMP-1 of Zhigancao Decoction group were lower and TIMP-1 was higher than those of Zhenwu Decoction group (P<0.05).The myocardial enzyme indexes in both groups were lower post-treatment, and the above indexes in Zhigancao Decoction were lower than those in Zhenwu Decoction group (P<0.05) . Conclusion Zhigancao Decoction could obviously improve the symptoms of chronic heart failure in elderly patients, which has the guiding significant in the clinical treatment.
