Objective: To observate the effect of Qishen Yiqi Dripping pills on cardiac function and levels of plasma NT-ProBNP level in patients with heart failure induced by ischemic cardiomyopathy. Method: Eighty patients with heart failure induced by ischemic cardiomyopathy were randomly divided into 2 groups

40 patients in control group were treated with conventional therapy. Forty patients in treatment group were treated by Qishen Yiqi Dripping pills on the basis of control group. Treatment lasted 8 weeks. Level of cardiac function

6 min walking distance

echocardiography index

plasma NT-proBNP level in two groups were observed before and after treatment. Result: After 8 weeks

level of cardiac function

6 min walk distance and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) of patients in treatment group were significantly increased compared with control group(P<0.05)

and level of plasma NT-proBNP was significantly decreased compared with control group(P<0.05). Conclusion: Qishen Yiqi Dripping pills can improve cardiac function

exercise tolerance

life quality and ventricular remodeling of patients with heart failure induced by schemic cardiomyopathy.
