PG  - 1085-8
AB  - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of qingre quyu granule (QQG) for treatment
      of carotid vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque (CVAP) in patients with coronary
      heart disease (CHD). METHODS: Eighty-two CHD patients with stable exertional
      angina, complicated with CVAP and differentiated to phlegm-heat and blood-stasis
      syndrome type were randomly assigned to two groups equally, the test group
      treated by Western medical routine therapy combined with QQG, and the control
      group treated with Western medical routine therapy with placebo. Using high
      frequency ultrasonography, the number (complex and simple) and Crouse integral
      of CVAP and the intima-media membranous thickness of carotid artery were
      measured, and changes in serum levels of CD40L and high-sensitivity C-reactive
      protein (hs-CRP), liver and renal functions were observed. RESULTS: After
      treatment, significant improvement were shown in the test group in terms of
      complex plaques' number, Crouse integral, intima-media thickness and serum
      levels of CD40L and hs-CRP as compared with that before treatment, also with
      those in the control group after treatment (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). No adverse
      reaction was found in the treatment course. CONCLUSION: QQG has certain
      stabilizing action on CVAP in patients with CHD.
