Methods Forty pure-bred New-Zealand rabbits were randomly allocated to 4 groups: control group, low-dosage RZE group, moderate-dosage RZE group and high-dosage RZE group. The rabbit model of heart failure was established by intravenous dripping of 20 g/L pentobarbital sodium. Oral tube perfusion of RZE was given after model establishment.The hemodynamic changes were observed before and after the modeling and 5,10,15,20,30,45,60,90,120,150 minutes after treatment by a RM-6000 4-graph physiological monitor. Results After treatment, LVSP, lv?dp/dtmax,lv +dp/dtmax,lv-dp/dtmax showed an ascending tend in all the groups, particularly in RZE groups; the differences between the control group and RZE groups were significant 30 minutes after treatment (P
