Objective: To investigate the effect of Qiangxinning Jianji on plasma levels of tumornecrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)
interleukin-6 (IL-6) in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. Method :CHF patients were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group. Plasma levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were measured and NYHA class was evaluated at the 8th week of treatment. Result :NYHA class was markedly improved in two groups
it was significantly better in treatment group than those in the control group (P<0.05). As compared with the control group
in the treatment group; TNF-α and IL-6 were lower
the difference between groups and between before and after treatment were significant (P<0.05). Conclusion :Qiangxinning Jianji could lower plasma levels of TNF-α and IL-6
and is one of the effective drugs in improving cardiac function in patients with CHF.
