Abstract:

Objective To explore the effects of Tongxinluo Capsules on myocardial microperfusion in patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) free of reflow and corresponding long-term safety. Methods One hundred and twenty eight patients free of reflow after PCI were randomly divided into two groups by random grouping method, the patients in control group(n=63) received standardized medications, and those in treatment group(n=65) received oral Tongxinluo Capsules based on standardized medications. Baseline clinical conditions, intraoperative surgical operations as well as changes in inflammatory and oxidative stress indicators(hs-CRP, SOD, MDA), cardiac function indicators and myocardial contrast echocardiography images on the 7th day, 30th day and 90th day after surgery, 24 months follow-up of MACE events as well as adverse reactions caused by the use of Tongxinluo Capsules of patients in two groups were compared. Results Highly sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) and malondialdehyde(MDA) of treatment group at post-operative time node were significantly lower than those of control group, and the differences in two groups till post-operative 30 days were statistically significant, the superoxide dismutase(SOD) of treatment group was higher than those of control group(P<0.05); Myocardial contrast echocardiography was performed on the 30th day, the patients in treatment group were found to have low myocardial perfusion imaging time, high contrast score indexes, and high A·β value when compared to those in the control group, and the difference was even greater on the 90th day(P<0.05); LVEF level of patients in two groups escalated over time, and the level of LVESVI and WMSI decreased over time. The heart function indexes of treatment group were better than those of control group at each time points(P<0.05). The 24-month MACE event rate of treatment group was significantly lower compared to those of control group(P<0.05). No serious adverse drug reactions caused by Tongxinluo capsules were found after 24 months follow-up. Conclusion Early use of Tongxinluo Capsule in patients free of reflow after PCI can reduce inflammation, inhibit oxidative stress, improve myocardial microperfusion and cardiac function, and further enhance patient prognosis, and long-term follow-up shows Tongxinluo Capsule delivers good safety.
