Objective To analyze and study the effect of modified Danggui Buxue decoction in patients with chronic heart failure and anemia. Methods Using the random number table method, 82 patients with chronic heart failure and anemia who were admitted to our hospital from April 2020 to April 2021 were divided into groups. One group was the reference group (n=41), and this group received conventional western medicine treatment. The other group was the experimental group (n=41). This group was treated with modified Danggui Buxue decoction on the basis of conventional western medicine treatment. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were evaluated by the treatment efficiency, TCM syndrome score, Hb, plasma NT-proBNP and 6MWT. Results The effective rate of treatment in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the reference group (P<0.05). Before treatment, there was little difference in TCM syndrome scores between the two groups, which could not meet the statistical significance (P>0.05). After treatment, the TCM syndrome scores in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the reference group (P<0.05). The Hb and 6MWT indexes of the experimental group were higher than those of the reference group (P<0.05), and the plasma NT-proBNP was lower than that of the reference group (P<0.05). Conclusion In the treatment of patients with chronic heart failure and anemia, the treatment effect of Jiawei Danggui Buxue Decoction is definite, which can promote the treatment effect of patients, improve their related symptoms and indicators, and then promote the recovery of patients. This treatment method is worthy of clinical application.
