title: [Dynamic study on inhibition of qi-benefiting, blood-activating recipe on myocardial hypertrophy induced by ISO in rats].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the effect of Qi-Benefiting, Blood-Activating Recipe on the different pathologic stage of myocardial hypertrophy induced by ISO in rats.
  
  
  METHODS
  Myocardial hypertrophy rats were induced by isoproterenol, and treated with Qi-Benefiting, Blood-Activating Recipe for 5,10 and 15 weeks, hemodynamic parameters, LVMI, HMI were determined, ANP and BNP were analysed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Qi-Benefiting, Blood-Activating Recipe could increase cardiac output and improve hemodynamic parameters all after 5, 10 and 15 weeks' treatment (P<0.05). It could decrease the contents of ANP and BNP after 5, 10 and 15 weeks' treatment (P<0.05). Qi-Benefiting, Blood-Activating Recipe could significantly decrease the levels of HWI and LVMI after 5, 10 and 15 weeks' treatment (P<0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Qi-Benefiting, Blood-Activating Recipe can significant improve hemodynamic status, increase cardiac output and decrease the level of neurohormonal factors.
