Effect Observation of Shenfu Injection in Treatment of Elderly Patients with Chronic Heart Failure

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the Shenfu injection’s therapeutic effect and safety in the elderly patients with chronic heart failure. METHODS A total of 61 cases of elderly patients with chronic heart failure were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. 31 cases in the control group were given bed rest,continuous oxygen and routine supportive care drugs,30 cases in the experimental group were given Shenfu injection 100 m L / d on the basis of conventional therapy. After 2 weeks’ treatment,the patients’ cardiac function,BNP,and left ventricular ejection fraction( LVEF) were compared. RESULTS The cardiac function,BNP,and LVEF in experimental group improved better than those in the control group. CONCLUSION Shenfu injection has adjuvant effect and promotional values for treating the elderly patients with chronic heart failure.
