ObjectiveTo observe the safety and effectiveness of Qiliqiangxin Capsules applied in elderly patients with heart failure complicated with decreased glomerular filtration rate.MethodsA total of 172 elderly patients with heart failure complicated with decreased glomerular filtration rate treated in department of geriatrics were enrolled continuously from February to April 2016,and they were randomly divided into the two groups.The control group was treated with standardized treatment of heart failure,while the study group was treated with Qiliqiangxin Capsules on the basis of standardized treatment
received:.After 12 weeks,eGFR,B type natriuretic peptide (BNP)and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire (MLHFQ)score were compared between the two groups.ResultsThere was no significant difference between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05).After 12 weeks,the difference of BNP level and estimated eGFR and MLHFQ score in the two groups was statistically significant compared with before treatment(P<0.05).Study group compared with the control group,the BNP level decreased[(865.0±124.5)pg/ml vs.(997.0±141.7)pg/ml(P<0.05),the estimated eGFR improved[(74.2±16.2)ml/(min·1.73 m2) vs.(69.3±15.4)ml/(min·1.73 m2)](P<0.05)and MLHFQ score decreased[(24.5±11.2)points vs.(36.6±12.3)points] (P<0.05).ConclusionFor elderly patients with heart failure received Qiliqiangxin Capsules does not affect the renal function of patients based on standard treatment,and can improve cardiac function and improve the quality of life.
