title: [Effect of buyang huanwu decoction on platelet function and fibrinolytic activity of unstable angina pectoris patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the effect of Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD) on the platelet function and fibrinolytic activity of unstable angina pectoris patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using randomized single blind method divided 60 unstable angina pectoris patients into conventional treatment (control) group and conventional plus BYHWD (TCM) group.
  
  
  RESULTS
  BYHWD could lower the levels of platelet aggregation, thromboxane B2 and the inhibitor of fibrinolysinogen activator (P < 0.05), but the activity of histo-type of fibrinolysinogen activator was enhanced.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  BYHWD was effective in treating unstable angina pectoris.
