[Effect of buyang huanwu decoction on platelet function and fibrinolytic activity of unstable angina pectoris patients].
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BYHWD) on the platelet function and fibrinolytic activity of unstable angina pectoris patients. METHODS: Using randomized single blind method divided 60 unstable angina pectoris patients into conventional treatment (control) group and conventional plus BYHWD (TCM) group. RESULTS: BYHWD could lower the levels of platelet aggregation, thromboxane B2 and the inhibitor of fibrinolysinogen activator (P < 0.05), but the activity of histo-type of fibrinolysinogen activator was enhanced. CONCLUSION: BYHWD was effective in treating unstable angina pectoris.
