In this study, 120 patients with rheumatic heart disease undergoing valve replacement were randomly divided into the control group and the Qishen group, with 60 cases in each group. Before the operation, the control group was given routine heart and diuretic treatments and placebo of Qishen Yiqi dropping pills for seven days (0.5 g each time, three times a day); While the Qishen group was given Qishen Yiqi dropping pills for seven days (0.5 g each time after meal, three times a day) on the basis of the routine treatments. The right ventricular end-diastolic volume (RVEDV), end-systolic volume (RVESV), stroke volume (SV) and right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) were detected after the operation. The results showed that patients in the two groups showed significantly lower right ventricular end diastolic volume (RVEDV), right ventricular end systolic volume (RVESV) and stroke volume (SV) decreased than that before the operation, but with significantly higher Ejection fraction (RVEF) significantly than that before the operation. However, the Qishen group showed a significantly lower right heart function reduction than the control group, with the statistical significance in the differences (P < 0.05). This indicated that the pretreatment with Qishenyiqi Drop Pills showed a remarkable efficacy in the improvement of right ventricular function after valve replacement.

Background: Numerous experiments and clinical practices have demonstrated the effectiveness of Qishen Yiqi dripping pills (QSYQ) on myocardial ischemia (MI). However, the bioactive ingredients and mechanisms remain unclear, leading to huge gaps between quality control and biological effect of QSYQ. Discovering quality markers (Q-markers) based on effective components is crucial for ensuring stable quality and clinical effectiveness of QSYQ.

Article Synopsis
  • The study looked at how well and safely Chinese patent medicines work for women after a heart procedure called PCI, especially after having heart problems like ACS.
  • It involved 748 female patients from 40 different hospitals in China, split into two groups: one group used regular western medicine and the other used special Chinese medicines along with it.
  • They tracked different health events like heart attacks and hospital readmissions over 3 years to see which treatment worked better and collected information on any side effects.

Background: Chinese patent medicines (CPMs) are widely used in China as an adjuvant treatment in dilated cardiomyopathy with heart failure (DCM-HF). However, comprehensive and systematic evidence supporting the beneficial effects of CPMs combined with current complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments against DCM-HF was limited. This network meta-analysis (NMA) aimed to assess and rank the relative efficacy of eight different CPMs for DCM-HF.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess how effective and safe Qishen Yiqi Dripping Pill (QSYQ) is for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), comparing it with traditional Western medicine.
  • Conducted across 40 centers in China, patients were divided into two groups: one receiving QSYQ in addition to Western medicine, while the other received only Western medicine, with outcomes measured over a median follow-up of about 566 days.
  • Results showed that the QSYQ group had a lower incidence of serious cardiac events in the primary endpoint compared to the WM group, indicating that QSYQ combined with traditional treatment may offer better management for ACS after PCI.
