[Clinical study on Fufang Sishen Decoction in treating arrhythmia after virus myocarditis].
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effect of Fufang Sishen Decoction (FFSSD) on arrhythmia after virus myocarditis.


METHODS
One hundred and two cases of arrhythmia after virus myocarditis were randomly divided into two groups. The treatment group was treated with FFSSD, 6 g, b.i.d.; and the control group with propafenone, 150 mg, q 8 h. The therapeutic effects were observed in 4 weeks.


RESULTS
The total anti-arrhythmia effects of FFSSD and propafenone were 71.9% and 78.9% respectively (P>0.05). FFSSD took effects relatively slowly with mild and lasting effect.


CONCLUSIONS
The curative effect of FFSSD in treating arrhythmia after virus myocarditis is confirmed. FFSSD has no obvious side effects.
