Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of probiotics on the blood lipid metabolism of elderly patients with coronary artery disease (CHD).Methods The clinical data of 100 elderly CHD patients who were admitted in our hospital from May 2012 ～November 2015 were collected.The enrolled patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group,50 cases in each group.All patients were routinely given medication for secondary prevention of CHD,patients in the observation group were additionally given oral probiotics.Then we observed the changes in the lipid levels of patients before and after 12 weeks treatment.Results The serum total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of patients in the observation group were improved more significantly than the control group,the difference was significant (P＜0.05).The serum total High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was improved more significantly than the control group.Conclusion Probiotics adjuvant therapy can significantly improve the blood lipid indexes in elderly CHD patients.
