Study on the Therapeutic Value of Shexiang Tongxin Dropping Pills in Patients with Stable Angina Pectoris of Coronary Heart Disease Complicated with Cognitive Impairment.

BACKGROUND: There is a pressing need to identify pharmaceuticals that are both safe and efficacious, with lower toxicity, for the treatment of stable angina pectoris in individuals suffering from coronary heart disease. The aim of this paper is to explore the therapeutic value of Shexiang Tongxin Dropping Pills in patients with stable angina pectoris of coronary heart disease complicated with cognitive impairment. METHODS: 200 patients with stable angina pectoris combined with cognitive dysfunction and coronary heart disease admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to June 2023 were retrospectively selected as the study objects. According to the treatment method, the subjects were divided into a control group and a study group, with 100 cases in each group. The control group received conventional oral Western medicine, and the study group underwent treatment with Shexiang Tongxin Dropping Pills in addition to traditional Western medicine. The course of treatment was eight weeks. The enhancement in angina pectoris, cognitive function level, self-care ability, and clinical efficacy of both groups were assessed by comparing the conditions before and after the treatment. RESULTS: After treatment, the frequency and duration of angina pectoris attacks in both groups were significantly lower than before, and the study group was lower than the control group (p < 0.05). The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score of both groups was higher than before, and the score of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p < 0.05). Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) scores in both groups were significantly lower than before, and the scores of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (p < 0.05). Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome scores in both groups were significantly lower than before, and the scores of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (p < 0.05). After treatment, the total effective rate of the control group and the study group was 81.00% and 93.00%, respectively, and the total clinical effective rate of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Shexiang Tongxin Dropping Pills can effectively reduce the incidence of angina pectoris in patients with stable angina pectoris complicated with coronary heart disease and cognitive dysfunction. It can also regulate the patient's neurological function, improve their cognitive level, and significantly improve clinical efficacy.
