OBJECTIVE: To probe into the clinical study of Wenyang Huoxue decoction combined with routine cardiac rehabilitation on improvement of life quality of patients with coronary heart disease after intervention

so as to provide new clinical evidence and new ideas for the cardiac rehabilitation with the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. METHODS: From Jun. 2017 to Nov. 2019

60 patients undergoing successful percutaneous coronary intervention in Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Tenth People ’s Hospital of Tongji University were extracted to be divided into the treatment group and the control group according to the principle of randomization and comparison

with30 cases in each group. Patients in both groups were treated with routine western medicine and cardiac rehabilitation.The treatment group was given Wenyang Huoxue decoction in the morning and evening

for 12 weeks as a course of treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores

Seattle angina questionnaire（ SAQ） score and the Medical Outcomes Study item short from health survey（ SF-36） of two groups were observed before and after treatment.RESULTS: After treatment

the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score in both groups was improved significantly compared with that before treatment

and the improvement in the treatment group was better than that in the control group

with statistically significant differences（ P < 0. 05）. The total effective rate in the treatment group was 90. 0%（ 27/30）

significantly higher than 66. 7%（ 20/30） in the control group

the difference was statistically significant（ P < 0. 05）. After treatment

the SAQ scores（ including physical activity limitation

angina stability

angina pectoris frequency

treatment satisfaction and disease cognition） of the treatment group were significantly better than those of the control group

and the differences were statistically significant（ P < 0. 05）; the SF-36 scores in the treatment group after treatment were significantly higher than those before treatment; the scores of physiology

physiological function

physical pain and energy in the control group were significantly higher than those before treatment; after treatment

the scores of physical pain

mental health

social function

emotional function and overall health in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group

and the differences were statistically significant（ P < 0. 05）.CONCLUSIONS: Wenyang Huoxue decoction combined with routine cardiac rehabilitation can improve the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score

angina pectoris and life quality.
