Does Qishen Yiqi dropping pills added to conventional Western medicine improve clinical efficacy in patients with chronic heart failure?
Absolute Event Rate: 91.67% vs 70%
p-value: p=0.002
The addition of Qishen Yiqi dropping pills to conventional Western medicine improved clinical efficacy, cardiac function, and quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure.
Du et al. (2026) conducted an RCT in chronic heart failure (n=120). Qishen Yiqi dropping pills (QSYQ) plus conventional Western medicine vs. conventional Western medicine was evaluated on clinical efficacy (total effective rate) (p=0.002). Qishen Yiqi dropping pills plus conventional Western medicine improved the total effective rate compared to conventional Western medicine alone in chronic heart failure (91.67% vs. 70%, p=0.002).
