Background: Angina pectoris in coronary heart disease (CHD) is a common ischemic heart disease clinically. During the onset, patients often have symptoms such as chest discomfort or paroxysmal crushing pain in the posterior sternum, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients, and even can lead to myocardial infarction and endanger the lives of patients. Clinical studies have shown that the compound Chinese prescription Xuefu Zhuyu decoction combined with western medicine has a certain therapeutic effect on angina pectoris in CHD, but lack of evidence of evidence-based medicine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xuefu Zhuyu decoction combined with western medicine in the treatment of angina pectoris in CHD.
Methods: Use computer to retrieve English databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library) and Chinese databases (CNKI, Wan Fang, VIP, Chinese biomedical database), from the establishment of database to October 2020, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of Xuefu Zhuyu decoction combined with Western medicine for angina pectoris in CHD. Two investigators independently conducted data extraction and assessed the literature quality of the included studies. The Revman5.3 software was used for meta-analysis of the included literatures.
Results: The efficacy and safety of Xuefu Zhuyu decoction combined with western medicine in the treatment of angina pectoris in CHD were evaluated by total effective rate, angina pectoris pain score, TCM syndrome score, electrocardiogram effect, hemorheology index (including whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit, and fibrinogen), and the incidence of adverse reactions.
Conclusion: This study will provide reliable evidence-based evidence for the clinical application of Xuefu Zhuyu decoction combined with western medicine in the treatment of angina pectoris in CHD.
