A comparative observation on treatment of heart failure due to diastolic insufficiency of the left ventricle--a report of 43 cases.
43 cases of heart failure due to diastolic insufficiency of the left ventricle were treated with TCM differential treatment as the treatment group, the total effective rate being 86.0%. Statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) in the therapeutic effects was found between the treatment group and control (25 cases) group. Improvement of the left ventricular diastole in the treatment group was more obvious than that of the control group (P < 0.01), while contractility of the left ventricle was also improved to a certain extent.
