Objective: To explore the effect of Atorvastatin Combined with trimetazidine on oxidative stress, hemorheology and NT-proBNP and hs-CRP in patients with coronary heart disease. Method: A total of 84 patients with coronary heart disease were admitted in our hospital from February 2015 to February 2017 were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, each group with 42 cases. The two groups received routine treatment of coronary heart disease, while the control group was treated with atorvastatin and the observation group was treated with Atorvastatin Combined with trimetazidine. Both groups were treated continuously for one month. The levels of oxidative stress indexes (SOD), malondialdehyde, (MDA), blood rheology indexes (ESR, whole blood hyposhear viscosity, whole blood hypershear viscosity, plasma viscosity, Fibrinogen (Fib) and serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), hypersensitive C reaction protein (hs-CRP) index in two groups were compared analytically. Results: Before treatment, there was no significant difference between the observation group and the control group in terms of oxidative stress, blood rheology and NT-proBNP and hs-CRP index. Compared with before treatment, the level of SOD in observation group and the control group was significantly increased and MDA significantly decreased. While the level of SOD in observation group was significantly higher than the control group, and MDA level was significantly lower than the control group after treatment. Compared with before treatment, the levels of hemorheology indexes included ESR, whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity and Fib in observation group and control group were significantly decreased. After treatment, the levels of ESR, whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity and Fib in the observation group were significantly lower than the control group. Compared with before treatment, the levels of NT-proBNP and hs-CRP in the observation group and control group were significantly decreased. After treatment, the levels of NT-proBNP and hs-CRP in the observation group were significantly lower than the control group,there was significantly statistical difference. Conclusion: Atorvastatin combined with trimetazidine can significantly reduce oxidative stress, restore normal blood rheology, and improve levels of NT-proBNP and hs-CRP in patients with coronary heart disease. This treatment is worthy of clinical promotion.
