OBJECTIVE
To observe the effect of Xuefuzhuyu Pill (XFZYP) on blood stasis syndrome and risk factor of atherosclerosis.

RESULTS
XFZYP could improve blood stasis syndrome of patients (P < 0.01) and reduced the level of risk factor of atherosclerosis, including high blood cholesterol (P < 0.01), oxidation of low density lipoprotein (P < 0.05) and plasma granule membrane protein alpha (P < 0.01).
