About this study

Official title: Prospective Cohort Study on Integrated Treatment by Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine of Patients Diagnosed as CHD (Coronary Heart Disease) With Stable Angina

Compared with standardized western medical drug therapy, this study is mainly about whether the combination of standardized western medical drug therapy and Chinese medical continued treatment, can further decrease the rate of cardiovascular events for stable angina patients and change the condition of angina.

Read the detailed description

We will pick 1100 patients who are according with the II、III stage in CHD western medical diagnosis standard, treat them with combination of standardized western medical drug therapy and Chinese medical continued treatment, or only with standardized western medical drug therapy,the treat course will last 6 months. The patients will be separated in two groups: Integrative treatment of Chinese medicine and western medicine group(integrative group) and western medical group according to the exposure factors(whether the patients accept differentiation of TCM ) during the follow-up period, observe the main indexes: Primary Endpoint: all because of death, stroke, nonfatal myocardial infarction, revascularization. Secondary endpoint: the events needed hospitalization which are because of (acute coronary syndrome)ACS,heart failure, severe arrhythmia, and complications. Secondary indexes: angina symptoms. Including the attack times, lasting time, inducing factors of angina attacks, pain degree of angina, discontinue rate of nitroglycerin, and electrocardiogram.

Integrative Chinese and western medicineIntegrative Chinese and western medicine group treat with western medical therapy for CHD refering to the 'Chronic stable angina pectoris diagnosis and treatment guide'which is published by Chinese society of Cardiology, Chinese Medical Association in March, 2007, including the anti-ischemia treatment(nitric acid ester,β-blocker,calcium antagonist,ACEI), anti platelet therapy(aspirin and/or clopidogrel) and other statins.TCM should be confirmed by the physicians, according to the syndrome differentiation and the treat plan recommended in this study.
