Objective:To investigate the effect of Shengxian decoction combined with irbesartan and atorvastatin on tranditonal Chinese medicine (TCM) efficacy, blood lipid levels and blood pressure variability in patients with hypertension.Methods:This study prospectively selected 80 cases of hypertension patients in Chuzhou First People's Hospital from March 2016 to March 2019 as the objects, and were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 40 cases in each group. The control group was treated with irbesartan and atorvastatin, and the observation group was treated with Shengxian decoction on the basis of the treatment. After the treatment, the TCM efficacy , related blood lipids and improvement of blood pressure variability of the two groups were compared.Results:The total effective rate of TCM syndrome in the observation group (92.5%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (70.0%), with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05); compared with before treatment, the systolic blood pressure (SBP) in both groups was significantly decreased ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) between the two groups before and after treatment ( P>0.05); there was no significant difference in SBP and DBP between the two groups after treatment ( P<0.05). Compared with that before treatment, 24 h standard deviation of systolic blood pressure (24 h SSD), day standard deviation of systolic blood pressure (dSSD) and night standard deviation of systolic blood pressure (nSSD) in the two groups were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in 24 h standard deviation of diastolic blood pressure (24 h DSD), day standard deviation of diastolic blood pressure (dDSD) and night standard deviation of diastolic blood pressure (nDSD) between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the levels of 24 h SSD, dSSD and nSSD in the observation group were significantly lower ( P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in 24 h DSD, dDSD, nDSD between the two groups ( P>0.05); after treatment, the levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the two groups were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Shengxian decoction is effective in treating blood stasis type hypertension, which can effectively improve blood pressure variability and blood lipid levels.
