Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of Shenqi-Tongmai decoction in Stable Angina pectoris Patients with Qi-deficiency-blood-stasis syndrome and the influence on serum associated adhesion factors. Methods A total of 110 patients with stable angina pectoris treated in the department of cardiology of traditional Chinese medicine hospital of Xinle city from Feb. 2015 to Feb. 2017 were divided into 2 groups according to the number random table method, with 55 in each group. All the patients were given the standardized treatment with western medicine, and the treatment group were aditionally treated with the Shenqi-Tongmai decoction. All the patients were treated for a course of 4 weeks. The TCM syndrome score, Seattle angina questionnaire (SAQ) score, electrocardiographic examination index and serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM-1), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM-1) level of the two groups before and after treatment were compared, and the clinical curative effect of the two groups was compared. Results The TCM syndrome score (7.1 ± 2.2 vs. 11.4 ± 3.0, t=8.590), serum sICAM-1 (227.69 ± 42.81 ng/ml vs. 275.33 ± 48.62 ng/ml, t=5.454) level, serum sVCAM-1 (272.04 ± 39.87 ng/ml vs. 296.58 ± 42.60 ng/ml, t=3.127) level and lead ecg ST segment down number (2.7 ± 0.6 vs. 3.2 ± 0.6, t=4.067), T wave of low lead numbers (1.7 ± 0.3 vs. 2.1 ± 0.3, t=6.807), numbers of T wave inversion lead (1.7 ± 0.3 vs. 2.1 ± 0.2, t=9.908) of the treatment group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.01). The SAQ scores (76.8 ± 10.5 vs. 67.4 ± 10.1, t=4.805) was higher than that of the control group (P<0.01). The curative effect of angina pectoris and electrocardiogram of the treatment group were 91.0% (50/55) and 92.7% (51/55), and the control group were 76.4% (42/55) and 78.2% (43/55). The difference was statistically significant between the two groups (χ2=4.251, 4.681, P<0.05). Conclusions Traditional Chinese medicine Shenqi-Tongmai decoction can effectively improve the SAQ scores and TCM syndrome score and electrocardiogram examination index, improve the clinical curative effect in the treatment of Stable Angina pectoris based on the western medicine (Qi-deficiency-blood-stasis syndrome) and its mechanism may be related to improving of the serum levels of sICAM 1, sVCAM 1.
