Abstract：Objective To investigate the effects of Qishen Yiqi dropping pil (QYDP)on heart rate variability (HRV)and cardiac func-tion in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).Methods One hundred and two patients with CHF excepting valvular heart disease were randomly divided into two groups:control group(n=50)treated with routine treatment,and treatment group(n=52)treated with routine treatment plus QYDP for 6 months.HRV and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)were respectively measured with dy-namic electrocardiogram and echocardiography.The concentration of blood N terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide (NT pro BNP)and the distance of walking in 6 minutes were also respectively measured.Results After treatment,HRV and LVEF and the distance of walking in 6 minutes were improved and the concentration of NT proBNP in blood were lowered in two groups,which was better in treatment group than that in control group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion QYDP can improve HRV and heart func-tion in patients with CHF.
