OBJECTIVE: To observe the efficacy and safety of vinpocetine in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with hypertension. METHODS: 90 patients with ACS and hypertension were randomly divided into control group (45 cases) and observation group (45 cases). Control group received Atorvastatin calcium tablet 20 mg, orally, once a day+Clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate tablet 75 mg, orally, once a day+Levamlodipine besylate tablet 2.5 mg, orally, once a day+Isosorbide mononitrate sustained-release tablet 40 mg, orally, once a day. Observation group was additionally given Vinpocetine injection 30 mg, adding into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection or 5% Glucose injection 250 ml by intravenous infusion, once a day. The 2 groups were treated for 14 d. The clinical efficacy, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), attack frequency, duration, interval time of the attack, ST segment down, blood viscosity, D-dimer, platelet aggregation rate, fibrinogen levels before and after treatment, and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS: The total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in SBP, DBP, attack frequency, duration, interval time of the attack, ST segment down, blood viscosity, D-dimer, platelet aggregation rate, fibrinogen levels in 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment, SBP and DBP in 2 groups were significantly lower than before, with statistical significance (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in 2 groups (P>0.05). Attack frequency, duration,ST segment down, blood viscosity, D-dimer, platelet aggregation rate, fibrinogen levels in 2 groups were significantly lower than before, and observation group was lower than control group, interval time of the attack in 2 groups was significantly long than before,and observation group was longer than control group,with statistical significances (P<0.05). And there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Based on the conventional treatment, both efficacy and safety of vinpocetine in the treatment of ACS with hypertension are good.
