Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of Tiaoxin formula in the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease and anxiety/depression and its impact on serum levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), β- thromboglobulin (β-TG) and myeloperoxidase (MPO). MethodA total of 66 patients with coronary heart disease and anxiety/depression were randomly divided into the Tiaoxin formula group and Deanxit group, 33 cases in each group. Both groups were given fundamental western treatment for coronary heart disease. Additionally, the Deanxit group was treated with flupentixol and melitracen tablets and the Tiaoxin formula group was treated with Tiaoxin Formula. The treatment lasted 8 weeks. Before and after treatment, the changes of clinical efficacy, Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scale, Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ), heart rate variability, and serum 5-HT, β-TG and MPO levels, and incidence of adverse reactions in the two groups were observed. ResultThere was no significant difference in the baseline indexes of patients in the two groups, and thus the two groups were comparable. After treatment for 8 weeks, the total effective rate for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes in the Tiaoxin Formula group was 87.88% (29/33) higher than 63.64% (21/33) in the Deanxit group (Z=-2.653, P<0.05). Compared with those before treatment, the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores of the two groups were decreased at week 4 and 8 of treatment (P<0.05), and there was no statistical difference between two groups. And the SAQ dimension scores of the two groups were increased at week 4 and 8 of treatment (P<0.05). Compared with the Deanxit group, the Tiaoxin Formula group had elevation in two dimension scores: Physical limitation and angina stability (P<0.05). Compared with the conditions before treatment, the serum 5-HT level in the two groups were increased, while the β-TG and MPO levels were lowered (P<0.05), and there was no distinct difference between two groups. In addition, the standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals (SDNN) and standard deviation of average normal-to-normal intervals (SDANN) of the heart rate variability in the Tiaoxin formula group were elevated after treatment (P<0.05), which were more significant than those of the Deanxit group (P<0.05). During the treatment period, the incidence of adverse drug reactions in the Tiaoxin formula group was lower than that in the Deanxit group (P<0.05), and no adverse events were observed in the two groups. ConclusionTiaoxin formula was effective for the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease accompanied by anxiety and depression, which improved the clinical symptoms, increased serum 5-HT levels, and decreased serum β-TG and MPO levels, and had few adverse reactions and high safety for patients, showing a high clinical value.
