Abstract:
[Objective] To explore the effect of early treatment of Chinese herbal medicine on the long-term prognosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) . [Methods] One hundred and fifty-seven AMI patients were divided into two groups according to the treatment during the hospitalization: 129 patients treated with Chinese herbal medicine and western medicine were in group A, and 28 patients treated with western medicine only were in group B. Statistical analysis of age, sex, infarction location, complications and medical history was made in all of the patients. A follow-up survey was made to investigate the subsistence of the patients and the incidences of all the events (including death and severe cardio-cerebrovascular events) . [Results] With the death as the end event, the survival graph of group A was higher than group B (P=0.1166); when with all the severe events as the end event, the survival graph of group A was still higher ( P=0.048) .[Conclusion] The probability of incidences of severe events including death in group A is lower than that in group B.
