Abstract:Objective To observe the efficacy of Digoxin Injection and Cedi-lanid in the treatment of patients with heart failure and rapid atrial fibrillation on the basis of conventional treatment. Methods A total of 100 patients with heart failure and rapid atrial fibrillation in the Third Affiliated Hospital of South China University from January 2020 to March 2021were selected as the research objects,and they were divided into the experimental group and the control group according to random number table method,with 50 cases in each group. All patients received conventional antiheart failure treatment,the experimental group was given Digoxin injection,the control group was given Cedi-lanid Injection for treatment. The therapeutic effect of heart failure,ventricular rate,N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),creatinine value and glomerular filtration rate were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results The total effective rate of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The overall comparison of ventricular rate at each time point after treatment between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The ventricular rate in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group 3 and 6 h after treatment,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in ventricular rate between the two groups at 9,12,15,18,21,24 h after treatment(P>0.05). There were no significant differences in creatinine and glomerular filtration rate between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment,the NT-proBNP of the two groups were lower than before treatment,and the NT-proBNP of the experimental group was lower than the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Digoxin Injection can effectively improve the symptoms of patients with heart failure and atrial fibrillation,control the ventricular rate,and is well tolerated. It has great clinical value in the treatment of such patients.
