Objective: NvZhen ErXian HeJi (NZEXHJ) is used to treat perimenopausal syndrome (PS), but its effect on perimenopausal coronary heart disease is unclear. Furthermore, the aim of this research is to study the effect of NZEXHJ on perimenopausal coronary heart disease (PMCHD) in a rat model based on a network pharmacology approach.
Materials And Methods: Based on network pharmacological analysis combined with molecular docking, we predicted the potential therapeutic target and pharmacological mechanism of NZEXHJ in the treatment of PMCHD.
