Chronic heart failure, slow onset, long course, is the terminal stage of heart disease, the case fatality rate is high, affecting the normal life of patients. Conventional Western medicines treat chronic heart failure, mainly to alleviate clinical symptoms and inhibit disease progression, with the purpose of prolonging patient survival and improving quality of life.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, chronic heart failure belongs to the category of "palpitations" and "edema" of traditional Chinese medicine, and the early heart qi deficiency, insufficient heart yang, medium-term water wet internal stop, spleen and yang damage, later kidney yang weakness, and the disease evidence is false. It is advisable to activate blood and dispel stasis to cure its symptoms, and warm yang to replenish qi to cure its causes. Chinese medicine believes that "qi is the handsome of blood", and if the qi is smooth, the blood is unimpeded. Commonly used proprietary Chinese medicines are alfalfa heart-strengthening capsules, Qi Ginseng Yiqi drop pills and so on.
Amaranth Heart Strengthening Capsules

Fangzhong appendages tonic fire and yang, astragalus yiqi lishui, a total of jun medicine, amaranth, ze diarrhea water seepage, salvia, safflower blood, ginseng, guizhi tonic temperature yang, tangerine peel li qi, jade bamboo nourishing heart, incense and skin strong heart, play a joint blood pulse, warm yang support qi, water swelling and other effects.
Quanfang has the effect of improving temperature and yang, invigorating blood circulation, and reducing swelling. It is used for mild and moderate congestive heart failure caused by coronary heart disease and hypertension, which is yang qi deficiency, stasis and water stoppage, symptoms of shortness of breath, movement is aggravated, can not lie flat at night, lower limb puffiness, fatigue and fatigue, shortness of urine, bruised lips, cold limbs, cough and vomiting of thin white sputum, etc.
Modern pharmacological studies have shown that Amaranth Heart Capsule can improve the physiological and pathological basis of heart failure at various stages, and its mechanism of action includes inhibiting the over-activation of neuroendocrine, protecting vascular endothelium, blocking ion channels, inhibiting ventricular remodeling, improving myocardial metabolism and other aspects, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the heart and treating heart failure. It embodies the characteristics of multi-component, multi-target and multi-channel pharmacological effects of traditional Chinese medicine.
Clinical practice has shown that amaranth capsules can improve myocardial contractility in patients with heart failure, increase cardiac output and renal blood flow, reduce ventricular wall thickness and cardiac index, reduce angiotensin II and aldosterone levels, and alleviate ventricular remodeling. It can significantly increase the amount of urination in patients with heart failure and reduce edema. Improve clinical symptoms and improve quality of life. In particular, the joint primics, sartans, and sakuba trisacchartans can further improve the efficacy.
Qi Ginseng Yi Qi Drop Pills
Qi Ginseng Yi Qi Drop Pills, composed of astragalus, salvia, panax notoginseng, and incense oil.

Coronary heart disease, angina, and heart failure are seen in the above symptoms.
Modern pharmacological studies have shown that Qi Ginseng Qi Drop Pills can reduce the scope of myocardial infarction, improve ischemic ECG, reduce serum creatine kinase and serum lactate dehydrogenase. Dilate coronary blood vessels, increase coronary blood flow, reduce myocardial oxygen consumption index, increase cardiac output and cardiac output without increasing left ventricular work, and inhibit ventricular remodeling.
In addition, it can also reduce total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, increase HDL cholesterol levels, reduce the total cholesterol content of the aorta, liver triglycerides and malondialdehyde content. Reduces whole blood viscosity, plasma endothelin, thromboxane A2 levels, inhibits platelet aggregation, antithrombosis. Increases superoxide dismutase activity, antioxidants, scavenging oxygen free radicals, protecting vascular endothelium.
Clinical practice has shown that Qi Ginseng Qi Drop Pills can effectively improve heart function, alleviate the symptoms of heart failure, improve the left ventricular ejection fraction, and increase the amount of ejection. Inhibits apoptosis and fibrosis of cardiomyocytes, and relieves ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction. Protects from ischemia-reperfusion injury, improves myocardial cell energy metabolism, and protects myocardial apoptosis. It can be used for cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and heart failure, and can improve clinical symptoms from multiple angles.
In short, QiQi Qiangxin Capsules and Qi Ginseng Qi Drop Pills can be used for patients with heart failure, which can be used alone or on the basis of conventional treatment according to the actual situation of patients, which can effectively improve chest tightness, asthma, edema, fatigue and fatigue, and improve heart function from the perspective of qi and strength, inhibit heart enlargement, and treat both symptoms and root causes.
