Abstract

To evaluate efficacy and security of Chinese patent medicines on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in the treatment of heart failure (HF). Five databases including PubMed, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data have been searched to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up till March 2016. Methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using criteria from Cochrane Reviewer’s Handbook 5.3, and analyzed using Rev Man 5.3 software. Sixteen RCTs of Chinese patent medicines were included. Results of the Meta-analysis showed that Chinese patent medicines were more effective on LVEF (MD=5.80, 95%CI (confidence interval): 0.236.73, P < 0.01) and BNP (MD= −366.99, 95%CI: −412.00  −321.97, P < 0.01). In addition, assessed quality of the included randomized controlled trials were low. Based on low quality and limited data, Chinese patent medicines were more significant at the LVEF and BNP level. Therefore, sufficient high quality experiments need to be conducted to confirm efficacy and security of Chinese patent medicines.
