[Controlled observations on 65 infantile acute viral myocarditis treated with traditional and Western medicine].
A prospective study of 65 infantile acute viral myocarditis was done, they were divided into two groups, the first group mainly treated with Tong-Mai oral liquid, a TCM drug, the second group used general therapy with Mixture ATP as its main drug. The results showed that the effective rate of the 1st and 2nd group was 93.02% and 72.73% respectively; their symptoms and signs such as suffocation, fatigue, chest pain, improved in reducing the size of enlarged heart, the effective rate of EKG, particularly ST-T and various blocks, as well as in improving the function of left ventricular and abnormal systolic time interval (STI), the 1st group was better than that of 2nd one in all above-mentioned five aspects (P < 0.05-0.01). Therefore, it was assumed that therapy of activating the blood circulation to relieve stasis, the Tong-Mai oral liquid might be a good approach in treating infantile acute viral myocarditis.
