title: Clinical observation on 84 cases of ventricular premature beat with deficiency syndrome treated by qi lu tang.
abstract: From August 1989 to May 1994, 84 cases of ventricular premature beat (VPB) with deficiency syndrome were treated with our empirical prescription called Qi Lü Tang Decoction for Improving Abnormal Heart Beat). The total effective rate was 88.10%, being significantly different from that of the control group treated with the Western drug propafenone (P < 0.01). Qi Lü Tang exhibited a better therapeutic effect in cases of VPB with deficiency of qi, deficiency of both qi and blood, and deficiency of both qi and yin.
