The clinical study of atorvastatin calcium in the treatment of chronic congestive heart failure

Abstract

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of atorvastatin calcium in the treatment of chronic congestive heart failure(CHF). Methods According to the order of admission with single and double, 132 CHF patients were randomly divided into control group and study group, 66 cases in each group.The control group was given routine treatment, and the study group was treated with atorvastatin calcium on the basis of routine treatment.The clinical efficacy was assessed.Before and after treatment, the serum TC level was measured, the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) and heart left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVDD), heart index(CI) were assessed by echocardiography.The adverse reactions during treatment were observed. Results The total effective rate of the study group was 92.42%, which was higher than 83.33% of the control group, the difference was statistically significant(χ2=9.35, P 0.05). Conclusion Atorvastatin calcium in the treatment of CHF patients on the basis of routine treatment has better clinical effect.It can significantly reduce TC and significantly improve cardiac function, and has high safety.
