ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of clopidogrel combined with Suxiao Jiuxin Pills on patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). MethodsNinety-seven patients with ACS diagnosed between January 2010 and December 2011 were divided into the treatment group (treated with clopidogrel combined with Suxiao Jiuxin Pills) (n=48) and the control group (treated with single clopidogrel) (n=49). One month was regarded as a treatment course. After one month, we observed the clinical effect, heart attacks frequency, ST segment changes and adverse reactions for the patients. ResultsThe total effective rate was 79.2% in the treatment group and was 51.0% in the control group. There was significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). Heart attacks frequency and ST segment were reduced significantly in both the two groups after treatment (P<0.05). The curative effect in the treatment group was significantly better than that in the control group after treatment (P<0.05). ConclusionClopidogrel combined with Suxiao Jiuxin Pills have a better clinical effect in the treatment of ACS than single clopidogrel.
