title: Clinical efficacy of Xinkeshu Pian on coronary heart disease and mood disorder complications after PCI.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the efficacy and safety of combining Xinkeshu tablet treatment with routine Western medicine treatment for patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and mood disorders after PCI postoperative period.
  
  
  METHODS
  100 patients were randomly divided into treatment group of 50 cases, and control group of 50 cases. The control group was given routine Western medical treatment, whereas the treatment group was given routine Western medical treatment in combination with Xinkeshu tablets. Eight weeks after treatment, the patients underwent SF-36 life quality evaluation, self-rating depression scale (SDS) evaluation, and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) evaluation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After the eight-week treatment, the SF-36 life quality scores, SAS scores, SDS score, as well as the reduction in heart creatinine levels of the two groups were compared. The results show statistical significance (P<0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Xinkeshu can effectively address the PCI postoperative mood disorders in patients with coronary heart disease and improve the quality of life.
