RESUMEN
Background: Shensong Yangxin Capsules (SSYX) is a proprietary Chinese medicine commonly, used in the treatment of arrhythmia. In recent years, a flurry of randomized controlled trials of SSYX was reported in the treatment of Coronary heart disease arrhythmia in China. However, these experiments have not been systematically evaluated by economics. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy, safety, and economy of the SSYX in the treatment of arrhythmia in patients with coronary heart disease. Methods: With "Shensong Yangxin Capsules" "Coronary Heart Disease" "Coronary Atherosclerotic Heart Disease"and "Arrhythmia" as the subject words, the relevant journals and conference papers were searched manually in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, VIP, PubMed, Web Of Science, CBM, Embase and The Cochrane Library. The literature of randomized controlled trials of SSYX in the treatment of coronary heart disease arrhythmia was searched until November 2022. All data were analyzed using RevMan 5.3 Sotware and combined with cost-effectiveness for economic evaluation. Results: Twenty randomized controlled trials were included in this study, with a total of 2011 cases. The meta-analysis showed that the therapeutic effect of SSYX-metoprolol is superior to that of metoprolol alone. SSYX is superior to amiodarone in improving the total clinical effective rate, reducing the incidence of adverse reactions, and reducing the junction premature beats. There was no significant difference between the SSYX and amiodarone in the curative effect of ECG, ventricular premature complexes, and atrial premature beats. The results of pharmacoeconomics show that SSYX has a cost-effectiveness advantage in treating coronary heart disease arrhythmia. Single-factor sensitivity analysis also confirmed the stability of the results. In summary, SSYX has a curative effect, safety, and economy in treating coronary heart disease arrhythmia.
