title: [Effect of eleutherosides on ventricular late potential with coronary heart disease and myocarditis].
abstract: The article studied the curative effect of eleutherosides in patients with coronary heart disease and myocarditis whose ventricular late potential (VLP) were positive by means of control study. All the 57 patients were randomly divided into two groups. The 31 patients were classified as therapeutic group including male 25 and female 6, the ages ranged from 18-65 years old (mean 51.8). The other 26 patients were defined as control group including male 21 and female 5, the ages ranged from 16-63 years old (mean 50.8). The therapeutic group was treated with injectio acanthopanacis senticosi 40 ml dissolved in 5% dextrose injection 300 ml by intravenous drop once daily. The control group was given insulin injection 12 u and potassium chloride injection 1 g dissolved in 10% dextrose injection 500 ml also by intravenous drop once daily. Both courses of treatment were 15 days. The rates of changing positive VLP into negative in two groups were 74.29% vs 34.6% (P less than 0.005). The results proved that eleutherosides is an effective drug to patients with positive VLP.
