Methods The selected 75 candidate patients were divided into control group with 37 patients and treatment group with 38 patients. The patients of control group received routine western medicine and treatment group received modified Renshen decoction plus routine western medicine. After 2 weeks of treatment, the effect of both group were evaluated with indictors of clinical heart function, BNP and traditional Chinese syndrome. Results There were significantly statistical difference, of total effective ratio of clinical heart function (χ2=4.343, P<0.05)between the treatment group (92.1%,35/38)and control group (73.0%, 27/37), and of total effective ratio of traditional Chinese syndrome (χ2=4.649, P<0.05) between the treatment group (94.7%, 36/38) and control group (73.0%, 27/37). The BNP levels of both group decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the significant statistical difference between two groups was also observed 1477.1 ± 316.7 pg/ml vs. 2256.9 ± 521.3 pg/ml; t=7.853, P<0.01).
