extracted valid data and undertook the Meta-analysis with RevMan 5.0.2 software. Result: Four randomized controlled trials involving 280 patients are included.The results of meta-analysis showed that western medicine plus Linggui Zhugan or added formula could improve the total effective rate .Western medicine plus Linggui Zhugan formula could increase left ventricular ejection fraction
western medicine plus added Linggui Zhugan formula .Meanwhile
only one study indicated that western medicine plus Lingguizhugan or added Formula could reduce the plasma BNP and ANP levels
respectively. Conclusion: By comparison with western medicine
western medicine plus Lingguizhugan or added formula can improve the therapeutic effects in CHF patients.
