Abstract：Objective To investigate the clinic effect of Qiliqiangxin capsule combined perindopril on congestive heart failure(CHF). Methods Totally 59 patients with CHF were randomly divided into the experimental group and control group. All patients were given conventional medical treatment. The control group was given perindopril , which increased from 2 mg once a day to 4 mg once a day gradually. Experimental group was given Qiliqiangxin capsule 1.2 g orally three times a day for 12 weeks. The changes of left ventricular ejection fraction( LVEF) , left ventricular end of diastolic volume( LVEDV) ,left ventricular end of systolic volume (LVESV) , stroke volume (SV) , cardiac output (CO) and cardiac function (NYHA) were observed. Results Before the treatment, the LVEF was (29.60 ±11.01)%, LVEDV was (129. 20 ±25.13)ml/m2, LVESV was (95. 60 ±33.12 ml/m2) , cardiac output was (2. 91 ± 0. 56) L/min, stroke volume was ( 37. 69 ± 13. 62) ml. After the treatment, the LVEF was (46. 89 ±8.11)%, LVEDV was (164.40 ±31. 02)ml/m2, LVESV was(70.90 ±32.07)ml/m2, cardiac output was (4.32 ±0.65)L/min and stroke volume was(55.06 ±13.27) ml. There was an earlier improvement of LVEF, LVEDV, LVESV cardiac output and stroke volume after treatment. Meanwhile, after the treatment the LVEF was (34.70 ±9.00)%, LVEDV was (148.20 ±29.31)ml/m2, LVESV was (81. 10 ±31.21)ml/m2, cardiac output was (3.14 ±0.60) L/min and stroke volume was (49.56 ±14.29)ml in the control group. The difference of total effective rate between the experimental group (93. 1% ) and the control group (66.7%) was also significant ( P< 0.01). Side application were not found in the two groups. Conclusion The application of Qiliqiangxin capsule combined with perindopril in treating congestive heart failure is safe and effective.
