What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of Yangxinshi tablets in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). It is a multicenter, randomized, open-label trial involving 1200 participants, where patients will be assigned to either an experimental group receiving Yangxinshi tablets alongside basic medication or a control group receiving only basic medication. The treatment duration is 24 weeks, and the primary outcome measure is the 6-minute walking distance (6MWD). The study aims to determine if the addition of Yangxinshi tablets can enhance exercise capacity in CCS patients.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with stable chronic coronary syndrome and limited exercise tolerance.

Not a fit: Patients with serious primary diseases, mental health issues, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve exercise capacity and quality of life for patients with chronic coronary syndrome.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar interventions, suggesting potential efficacy for this approach.
