Objective: To explore the effect of integration of Chinese and western medicine in treatment of elderly chronic heart failure and the influence for life quality. Method: One hundred and twenty-eight elderly cases with chronic heart failure were randomly divided into control group and experience group. Control group were given western medicine and experience group received integration of Chinese and western medicine treatment. Clinical effect

cardiac function and life quality were compared between two groups. Result: The effective rates of treatment in experience group was much higher than that in control group(90.9% vs 69.4%

P<0.05);left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) and left ventriculor diastolic diameter(LVDD) after treatment in experience group were (53.16±2.58)% and (50.31±2.10)mm

of which were superior to control group (P<0.05);The physical

emotion

symptoms and total scores of MLHFQ were (12.02±0.85)

(4.67±0.28)

(8.09±0.26)

(29.31±2.74) in experience group

and were (15.89±1.04)

(5.26±0.35)

(10.13±0.42)

(35.98±3.14) in control group with significant difference(P<0.05). Conclusion: Integration of Chinese and western medicine for elderly chronic heart failure greatly improve clinical effect

cardiac function and life quality.
