Objective: To discuss the correlation on TCM syndromes of congestive heart failure, cardiac function and brain natriuretic peptide. Methods: 423 congestive heart failure cases from several hospitals (from December, 2010 to September, 2012) have been collected, with statistical analyzing by SPSS18.0. The correlations on CHF syndromes, cardiac functional grading and brain natriuretic peptide have got studied. Results: With the going up of brain natriuretic peptide, syndromes are in order of heart blood stasis, qi-yin deficiency, phlegm blocking heart vessels, yang-deficiency-water-flooding, phlegm-stagnation, qi-deficiency-blood-stasis, Qi-stagnation-blood-stasis, etc. Syndromes of phlegm blocking heart vessels, heart blood stasis, qi-yin deficiency are mostly manifested in patients of cardiac function level 1 or 2. Syndromes of qi-deficiency-blood-stasis, heart-qi-deficiency, and phlegm-stagnation are often in cardiac function level 3. And y ang-deficiency-water-flooding syndrome is closely related to the ones of cardiac function level 4. The level of brain natriuretic peptide goes up with the increase of cardiac function grading. Conclusion: The levels of cardiac function and brain natriuretic peptide increase in patients with congestive heart failure. TCM syndromes aggravate with the going up of both of them. The two indexes are expected to provide reference for the diagnostic criteria establishment of common syndromes of congestive heart failure.

Objectives To investigate the effect and safety of esmolol in treating ventricular arrhythmias Methods We gave intravenous injection of esmolol either alone or along with electrical defibrillation, electrical cardioversion, to 48 ventricular arrhythmias cases (including ventricular premature contractions, paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia, sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation) during hospitalisation in Department of Cardiology of PLA 252 Hospital since January 1st, 2011. Then we investigated the restoration of sinus rhythm and control of ventricular rate, recorded the changes in blood pressure and heart rate before and after treatment Results Among the 48 cases, 16 cases converted to sinus rhythm by usage of esmolol and electrical defibrillation, 4 cases converted to sinus rhythm by usage of esmolol and electrical cardioversion; among the rest, 7 cases of premature ventricular contractions were treated with esmolol for prevention, 21 cases of ventricular tachycardia (including paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia)converted to sinus rhythm by usage of esmolol alone. The total efficiency rate was up to 91.6%. 4 patients died. Conclusions Esmolol as the ultrashort sblockers has good efficacy, less adverse reactions, and is worthy of further research in treatment of rapid ventricular arrhythmia

To study the angiographic features and effects of drug treatment of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). Data from coronary angiography performed in 2458 patients that from Department of cardiology, No 252 Hospital of PLA, were analyzed to discover SCAD. The following image changes is

To evaluate the effect of PCI in the patients who get the anterior myocardial infarction with ventricular aneurysm and the change of N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in perioperative period of PCI, and whether these factors could be
