Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of treating heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in elderly patients with Yiqi Huoxue Lishui Prescription combined with aldosterone receptor antagonist. Methods A prospective, open and blank controlled clinical study was conducted to collect 120 cases of HFpEF patients in the outpatient and in-patient department of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2017 to December 2018. According to the random number table method, they were divided into the traditional Chinese medicine group, the Spironolactone group, the combined group and the control group, each group with 30 cases. The control group was treated with western medicine basic treatment, the traditional Chinese medicine group was treated with Yiqi Huoxue Lishui Prescription, the Spironolactone group was treated with Spironolactone 20 mg/tablet/day, and the combined group received the same therapeutic intervention as the traditional Chinese medicine group and spironolactone group at the same time. Each group was treated continuously for 2 weeks. The results of N terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score and 6 min walking test were recorded and compared before and after treatment. Results Five cases were shed during the study, and 115 cases were actually completed. There were 30 cases in the control group, 28 cases in the traditional Chinese medicine group, 29 cases in the Spirolactone group and 28 cases in the combined group. There was no statistically significant difference in the level of NT-proBNP between the four groups before treatment (P > 0.05). The level of NT-proBNP after treatment in the combined group, the traditional Chinese medicine group and the Spironolactone group was lower than that before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment, the level of NT-proBNP in the combined group, the Spironolactone group and the traditional Chinese medicine group decreased, and the combined group was lower than the Spironolactone group, the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score among the four groups before treatment (P > 0.05). The traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores of each group were lower after treatment than before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment, the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores of the combined group, the traditional Chinese medicine group and the Spironolactone group all decreased, and the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores of the combined group and the traditional Chinese medicine group were all lower than those of the Spironolactone group, with statistically significant differences (all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores between the combined group and the traditional Chinese medicine group (P > 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in 6 min walking distance among the four groups before treatment (P > 0.05). The 6 min walking distance of each group after treatment was greater than that before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). After treatment, the 6 min walking distance of the combined group was greater than that of the Spirolactone group and the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in 6 min walking distance between the combined group and the traditional Chinese medicine group (P > 0.05). Conclusion The advantage of the Yiqi Huoxue Lishui Prescription lies in the improvement of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome and activity endurance, and the advantage of Spironolactone lies in the reduction of NT-proBNP level. The combination of the two is an effective method for the treatment of HFpEF.
