title: [Clinical observation on point implantation of slowly-releasing medication for treatment of functional ventricular premature].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To probe into a safe and effective method for treatment of functional ventricular premature, and develop a new preparation of Chinese herbs with high science and technique contents.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two hundred and thirty-eight cases were randomly divided into a slowly-releasing medication group (n = 118) and a western medicine group (n = 120).
