Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of Xuefu Zhuyu Tang combined with Xiaoqinglong Tang in treatment of elderly patients with acute exacerbation stage of chronic pulmonary heart disease. Method: The 140 patients with acute exacerbation of chronic pulmonary heart disease (COPD) were chosen in the period from May 2013 to May 2014 in Qinghai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Qinghai Red Cross Hospital

Xining First People's Hospital

and randomly divided into control group (70 patients) and trentment group (70 patients) with random number table method. Patients in control group received routine western medicine treatment

and the patients in trentment group received additional Xuefu Zhuyu Tang combined with Xiaoqinglong Tang on the basis of treatment in control group. The clinical efficacy

trentment symptom scores

levels of pulmonary function index

blood gas analysis index

cardiac function index and blood rheology index before and after treatment of both groups were compared. Result: The clinical efficacy of trentment group was significantly better than that in control group

with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The trentment symptom scores in trentment group after treatment were significantly better than those in control group and those before treatment

with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The levels of pulmonary function index and blood gas analysis index after treatment in trentment group were significantly better than those in control group and those before treatment

with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The levels of cardiac function index and blood rheology index after treatment in treatment group were significantly better than those in control group and those before treatment

with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: Xuefu Zhuyu Tang combined with Xiaoqinglong Tang in treatment of acute exacerbation stage of chronic pulmonary heart disease can efficiently relieve the clinical symptoms and signs

improve heart and lung functions and help to improve blood rheology index.
