Abstract：Objective To observe the the effect of integrative medicine and enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) on serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in coronary heart disease (CHD) with phlegm and blood stasis syndrome.Methods One hundred and twenty patients with CHD and phlegm and blood stasis syndrome were randomly divided into two groups:control group (n=60) treated with routine treatment of integrative medicine,and treatment group (n=60) treated with EECP plus routine treatment of integrative medicine.The clinical curative effect and the changes of serum VEGF were observed before and after treatment.Results The total clinical effective rate was significantly higher in treatment group than that in control group (P<0.05).The levels of serum VEGF increased in two groups after treatment,which was higher in treatment group than that in control group (P=0.000).Conclusion Integrative medicine and EECP can up-regulate serum VEGF level in patients with CHD and phlegm and blood stasis syndrome.
