title: A clinical investigation on tong xin luo capsule in treatment of coronary heart disease with silent myocardial ischemia.
abstract: 36 cases of coronary heart disease with silent myocardial ischemia (SMI) were treated sequentially with Tong Xin Luo (TXL) capsule and isosorbide dinitrate in random order. The results showed that both drugs were effective in decreasing episodes of SMI and shortening the duration of asymptomatic myocardial ischemia. TXL, however, was found with a better action and was superior to isosorbide dinitrate. It was also found that TXL could improve diastolic function of the left ventricle as well.
