The effects of Shexiang Baoxin pills combined with intracoronary injection of nicorandil on myocardial blood perfusion and short-term prognosis for STEMI patients after PPCI / 药学实践杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of Shexiang Baoxin pill combined with intracoronary injection of nicorandil on myocardial perfusion and short-term prognosis after primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Methods 151 patients with acute myocardial infarction after PPCI were enrolled in this study. Those patients were admitted to our hospital during January 2017 to January 2018. According to the numerical randomization method, 51 patients were selected as routine treatment group (group A), 50 patients with intracoronary injection of nicorandil (group B) and 50 patients received intracoronary injection of nicorandil plus oral Shexiang Baoxin pills (group C). Intra-operative corrected TIMI frame count (cTFC), postoperative TIMI grade 3 blood flow ratio, 2-hour ECG ST segment fallback >50% index, the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) during hospitalization and the incidence of angina and MACE within 3 months after surgery were evaluated. Results cTFC, 2 hours postoperative ECG ST segment fall >50% index in group B and C were better than group A (P<0.05). The results from group C were better than group B. Group C exhibited better results than group B and C in post-operative angina pectoris 3 months after surgery (P<0.05). Conclusion Shexiang Baoxin pills combined with intra-coronary injection of nicorandil can improve myocardial perfusion and short-term prognosis after primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
