Conditions

Chronic Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Brief summary

Main objective: To evaluate the efficacy, safety and clinical dose exploration of Qishen Yiqi dripping pills in the treatment of chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Detailed description

Main objective: To evaluate the efficacy, safety and clinical dose exploration of Qishen Yiqi dripping pills in the treatment of chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Exploratory research objective: To explore the changes of endogenous substances in vivo before and after drug administration, to interpret the mechanism of drug action through metabolomics and systems biology methods, and to find potential clinical biomarkers for exploratory subgroup analysis of clinical trials.

Exclusion criteria

* People with any of the following cardiovascular diseases: 1.

Clinical evidence of acute coronary syndrome (including myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris) within 6 months before screening stage 3. Received prior revascularization (such as PCI, CABG), or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), or other cardiac/cardiovascular procedures within 3 months before screening stage 4. Received cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) within 6 months before screening stage 5. Implantable devices (e.g. ICD, CRT), revascularization (e.g. PCI, CABG), or other cardiac/cardiovascular procedures are expected to be performed during the trial period 6.
