Effect of Danqi Buxin Decoction on Chronic Function Indexes and Life Quality in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure of Yang Deficiency Type

OBJECTIVE: The purpose was to explore the clinical effect of Danqi Buxin decoction on chronic heart failure (CHF) with yang deficiency and its effect on cardiac function and life quality of patients. METHODS: 106 CHF patients with yang deficiency treated in Jinan Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from February 2019 to February 2020 were selected as the research objects and divided into the treatment group and reference group according to the odd and even admission numbers, with 53 cases in each group. The reference group was treated with routine antiheart failure drugs, while the treatment group was additionally treated with Danqi Buxin decoction to compare the clinical effect and cardiac function changes between the two groups. RESULTS: The clinical effective rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the reference group (P < 0.05). The TCM symptom scores at T1, T2, and T3 in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the reference group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the LVEDV levels in both groups were significantly higher than those before treatment, while the BNP levels were significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.001). The LVEDV level in the treatment group after treatment was higher than that in the reference group, while the BNP level in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the reference group (P < 0.001). The life quality scores in the treatment group after treatment were significantly higher than those in the reference group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Danqi Buxin decoction on the basis of conventional drugs can significantly improve the cardiac function and life quality of CHF patients with yang deficiency type. Its further research is helpful to establish a good treatment plan for CHF patients.
