International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2021;43(1):32-36
Objective:To observe the clinical effect of Shutiao Decoction on patients with coronary heart disease and anxiety and depression. Methods:Sixty patients with stable coronary artery disease and anxiety and depression from January 2019 to December 2019 in Kunming Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected. They were divided into a treatment group of 30 cases and a control group of 30 cases according to random number table method. The control group recieved Western medicine routine treatment combined with psychological intervention, the treatment group was treated with Shutiao Decoction on the basis of the control group, and the treatment course of both groups was 4 weeks. Before and after treatment, TCM syndrome score, Seattle Angina Scale (SAQ), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) were evaluated. The adverse events were recorded during treatment and clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results:After treatment, the total effective rate in the treatment group was 90.0% (27/30), the control group was 73.3% (22/30), where the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( Z=-2.515, P=0.012). After treatment, the TCM syndrome score (9.37 ± 6.47 vs. 18.37 ± 6.58; t=-5.341, P<0.01) of the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group. Among SAQ domains’ scores, the physical activity limitation, and the stable state of angina pectoris, angina attack in the treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control group ( t values were 2.294, 7.698, 4.677, 3.215, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The HAMA score of the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group (9.20 ± 5.26 vs. 12.17 ± 4.88; t=-2.266, P=0.027). The HAMD score in the treatment group was significantly lower than that of the control group (11.27 ± 5.83 vs. 15.03 ± 6.16; t=-2.433, P=0.018). During the treatment period, the incidence of adverse reactions was 3.33% (1/30) in the treatment group and 6.67% (2/30) in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=0.351, P=0.554). Conclusion:Shutiao Decoction combined with western medicine routine treatment can improve patients’ TCM syndromes, relief angina pectoris, anxiety and depression.
