BMC Complement Med Ther 2022; 22:337. [PMID: 36550516 PMCID: PMC9773579 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-022-03813-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral atherosclerosis is a common macrovascular complication of diabetes, but the treatment is limited. Chinese herbal medicine is the complementary and alternative therapy to delay the progression of atherosclerosis and reduce blood glucose and lipids. Shen-Qi Xiao-Tan (SQXT) formula is one of the prescriptions commonly used to treat diabetic peripheral atherosclerosis, but there is still a lack of high-quality evidence-based evidence. METHODS This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled add-on trial that is expected to enroll 114 diabetic patients with peripheral atherosclerosis. After a 2-week run-in period, participants will been randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio and receive 12 weeks of usual treatment and SQXT formula (treatment group) or usual treatment and placebo (control group). The primary outcome is the change in carotid intima-media thickness from baseline to endpoint. The secondary outcomes are the structure and function of peripheral arteries, blood glucose and lipids, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score, and quality of life, and safety and endpoint events are evaluated. To explore the therapeutic mechanism through oxidative stress, inflammation, and advanced glycation end products, and lipidomics will be used to screen for biomarkers for diagnosis and efficacy evaluation. DISCUSSION The objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and therapeutic mechanism of SQXT formula in the treatment of diabetic peripheral atherosclerosis. It will obtain high-quality evidence-based evidence and promote the treatment of diabetic macroangiopathy and the research and development of new drugs. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial is registered on Chinese Clinical Trials.gov with number ChiCTR2100047189 on 10 Jun 2021, and has been approved by the Ethical Review Committee of Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine with number 2020KL-080.

Perceptions of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention on pre-operative education in China: A qualitative study. Health Expect 2020; 24:121-130. [PMID: 33185951 PMCID: PMC7879546 DOI: 10.1111/hex.13156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2020] [Revised: 09/23/2020] [Accepted: 10/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives To explore the perceptions of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) regarding their pre‐operative health education. Methods A qualitative study using semi‐structured, in‐depth interviews was conducted in one cardiology unit in China from July 2019 to December 2019. Purposeful sampling of 17 patients undergoing PCI was interviewed about their perceptions of pre‐operative health education. Thematic analysis of the transcribed data was then used to identify the themes. Results Four themes emerged from the data:(a) triple roles of pre‐operative education with the categories of relief (reliving fear); burden (leading to stress); and meaningless (changing nothing); (b) family member involvement with the categories of shared responsibility and family members’ duty; (c) facilitators in the process of pre‐operative health education with the categories of emotional support, plain language and individualized pre‐operative education; (d) inhibitors in the process of pre‐operative health education with the categories of contradiction and threatening words. Conclusions Pre‐operative health education for patients undergoing PCI should be aligned with the individual patients’ information‐seeking styles and personal differences, emphasizing individualized patient education. Traditional Chinese philosophy should be considered in the practice of pre‐operative education for patients undergoing PCI, which emphasizes family member involvement; at the same time, patient empowerment and self‐care should also be stressed. In addition, emotional support and plain language from health professionals are important in pre‐operative health education for patients undergoing PCI; contradiction should be avoided, and threatening words should be used with caution and with consideration for cultural variations during pre‐operative education for patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Despite a rapid increase in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures in China, little is known about patient-reported health status before and after PCI in patients without acute myocardial infarction (AMI). OBJECTIVE To describe self-perceived angina-specific health status prior to PCI and 1 year after the procedure in patients without AMI in China. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The China Patient-Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events (PEACE) Prospective Study of PCI was a population-based, multicenter cohort study of a consecutive sample of 1611 patients without AMI undergoing elective PCI. Participants were enrolled from 40 hospitals in 18 provinces in China from December 2012 to August 2014. Participants were eligible if they underwent PCI for stable and unstable angina and did not have AMI. Participants were excluded if they died in hospital, withdrew from follow-up, or had missing data on self-reported health status at baseline or at 1 year after PCI. The date of the analysis was September 15, 2018. EXPOSURES Percutaneous coronary intervention for ischemic heart disease. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Angina frequency and angina-related quality of life were assessed with the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) immediately prior to PCI and 1 year after the procedure. Either (1) an increase in the SAQ Angina Frequency score of 10 or more points or (2) an increase in the SAQ Quality-of-Life score of 10 or more points was considered to represent clinically significant improvement. RESULTS Of 1611 patients, 520 (32.3%) were women; mean (SD) age was 61.3 (9.8) years. Among these patients, 443 (27.5%) had stable coronary artery disease and 1168 (72.5%) had unstable angina. One hundred fourteen of 443 patients undergoing PCI for stable coronary artery disease (25.7%) and 175 of 1168 undergoing PCI for unstable angina (15.0%) had no reported angina symptoms at the time of the procedure (SAQ Angina Frequency score = 100). Moreover, 18% of all patients (290) had minimal angina symptoms (SAQ Angina Frequency score >90) and, thus, no potential for substantial clinical improvement. Patients with smaller clinical improvements in angina symptom burden at 1 year following PCI had significantly higher baseline SAQ scores for all scales than patients with greater clinical improvement, but generally similar sociodemographic and procedural characteristics. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this study, 25.7% of patients undergoing PCI for stable coronary artery disease had no reported angina symptoms at the time of the procedure. Patients with smaller clinical improvements in angina symptom burden had higher baseline SAQ scores, which highlights the importance of ascertaining impairment from angina among patients without AMI prior to performing PCI.

The china patient-centered evaluative assessment of cardiac events (PEACE) prospective study of percutaneous coronary intervention: Study design. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2016; 88:E212-E221. [PMID: 26945565 PMCID: PMC5215582 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.26461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2015] [Accepted: 01/22/2016] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in China has increased more than 20-fold over the last decade. Consequently, there is a need for national-level information to characterize PCI indications and long-term patient outcomes, including health status, to understand and improve evolving practice patterns. OBJECTIVES This nationwide prospective study of patients receiving PCI is to: (1) measure long-term clinical outcomes (including death, acute myocardial infarction [AMI], and/or revascularization), patient-reported outcomes (PROs), cardiovascular risk factor control and adherence to medications for secondary prevention; (2) determine patient- and hospital-level factors associated with care process and outcomes; and (3) assess the appropriateness of PCI procedures. METHODS The China Patient-centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events (PEACE) Prospective Study of PCI has enrolled 5,000 consecutive patients during 2012-2014 from 34 diverse hospitals across China undergoing PCI for any indication. We abstracted details of patient's medical history, treatments, and in-hospital outcomes from medical charts, and conducted baseline, 1-, 6-, and 12-month interviews to characterize patient demographics, risk factors, clinical presentation, healthcare utilization, and health status using validated PRO measures. The primary outcome, a composite measure of death, AMI and/or revascularization, as well as PROs, medication adherence and cardiovascular risk factor control, was assessed throughout the 12-month follow-up. Blood and urine samples were collected at baseline and 12 months and stored for future analyses. To validate reports of coronary anatomy, 2,000 angiograms are randomly selected and read by two independent core laboratories. Hospital characteristics regarding their facilities, processes and organizational characteristics are assessed by site surveys. CONCLUSION China PEACE Prospective Study of PCI will be the first study to generate novel, high-quality, comprehensive national data on patients' socio-demographic, clinical, treatment, and metabolic/genetic factors, and importantly, their long-term outcomes following PCI, including health status. This will build the foundation for PCI performance improvement efforts in China. © 2016 The Authors. Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
