[A clinical study of guan mai Le in the treatment of coronary heart disease].
After finding that Fomitiporia Runctata Murr had been used to treat angina pectoris as a folk remedy, medical workers of Fujian Sanming Fongous Institute engaged in the separation and identification of flora, and made out sugar-coated tablets of GML. This article reports clinical observation of tablets of GML treating 270 cases of CHD. Among the control group, 31 cases were treated by Persantine, 20 cases by Huo Xin Dan, 30 cases by compound Salviae miltiorrhizae. Among 222 cases of angina pectoris, 80 cases acquired evident effect (36%), 98 cases acquired improvement (44%), 42 cases failed to respond to the treatment (19%) and 2 cases became worse (1%). Total effective cases were 178 and total effective rate was 80%. There were 250 cases who had ECG evaluation: 37 cases acquired evident effect (15%), 95 cases showed improvement (38%), 116 cases had no change (46%) and 2 cases became worse (1%). Total effective cases were 132 and total effective rate was 53%. There was no significant difference between the effect of tablets of GML and that of Persantine, Huo Xin Dan and compound Salviae miltiorrhizae. According to the clinical laboratory observation, there were many functions of GML, such as antimyocardial ischemia, regulating heart rate, antiectopic cardiac rhythm and improving cardiac function and disorder in hemorrheology. The authors also used GML to treat 90 cases of arrhythmia.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
