黄芪治疗心力衰竭及其对肿瘤坏死因子的影响

摘要

目的：探讨黄芪改善心功能的可能机制。方法：在42例慢性心力衰竭患者中，观察基础抗心衰治疗加用黄芪治疗对心功能及肿瘤坏死因子的影响。结果：与基础治疗组相比较，加用黄芪组心功能改善更显著，而且血清TNF-α水平明显降低。结论：黄芪可能具有降低肿瘤坏死因子的作用，有助于改善心功能。%OBJECTIVE：To explore the possible mechanism of astragalus in improving cardiac function.METHODS：To observe the effects of astragalus,added to basic anti-heart-failure therapy,on cardiac function and TNF in 45 cases of thronic heart failure.RESULTS：In comparison with basic therapy group,the improvement of cardiac function was more obvious and the level of serum TNF-α was lower in astragalus group.CONCLUSION：Astragalus probably has the action of decreasing TNF resulting in improvement of cardiac function.
