It is difficult for cardiovascular department to see cancer on the heart. Cancer patients are easily seen in other internal departments of the hospital, such as respiratory, gastroenterology and nephrology. However, there are still many patients with heart failure in the cardiovascular department. According to the current research results, the 5-year survival rate of patients with chronic heart failure (how many rates of patients are still surviving after 5 years) is less than that of women with breast cancer , intestinal cancer, and ovarian cancer, and common bladder cancer , prostate cancer , and other cancers. So from the perspective of prognosis, heart failure is equivalent to cancer in the cardiovascular department.
The treatment of chronic heart failure is very complicated, mainly using a series of Western medicines. The combined use of some Chinese patent medicines can also achieve good results. Common drugs for treating chronic heart failure include the following:
1, ACEI or ARB, that is, Pril or Sartan drugs. Long-term use can help reduce the risk of long-term death;
2, beta receptor blockers, long-term use can help reverse left ventricular remodeling, and like ACEI or ARB, it can also reduce the risk of long-term death;
3, aldosterone receptor antagonist, together with the first two types of drugs, is called the golden triangle for treating heart failure .
Of course, the introduction of some new drugs has given more choices for the treatment of heart failure, such as the angiotensin receptor enkephalin inhibitor, which also has diuresis, lowering blood pressure, and reducing the excitability of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and sympathetic nervous system .
In addition to these drugs, traditional Chinese medicine can also play a good role in the treatment of heart failure, and Qifeng Qiangxin Capsule is one of them.
For heart failure patients who cannot lie flat at night, palpitations, shortness of breath, and less edema, while taking drugs such as the Golden Triangle reasonably, Qili Qiangxin Capsule can be used in combination. This medicine can not only improve the symptoms of heart failure, but also has the effect of promoting blood circulation and unblocking meridians.
On the one hand, this drug can play the role of a diuretic, excrete excess water in the body, and reduce edema; on the other hand, it can increase the contractility of the heart, increase the patient's exercise endurance, and effectively improve the patient's quality of life. More importantly, compared with diuretics, drugs that can cause electrolyte disorders , this drug is not prone to electrolyte disorders. Combined with diuretics, it can enhance the therapeutic efficacy and reduce adverse reactions.
Compared with other drugs, Qili Qiangxin Capsule has fewer adverse reactions and is applicable to a wide range of people. However, it is not recommended to stop suddenly during treatment, otherwise the symptoms of heart failure may worsen.
