Clinical effect of Danshen decoction in patients with heart failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of heart failure (HF) is increasing year by year, posing a great threat to human health. Although pharmacotherapy has been able to significantly prolong patient survival, pharmacotherapy for HF still has limitations due to its complex pathogenesis and considerable individual variability, there is a great need to explore complementary and alternative therapies to slow down the progression of HF. Danshen decoction is used to treat several cardiovascular diseases including HF, but the efficacy of stabilization is uncertain. This meta-analysis evaluated the clinical efficacy of Danshen Decoction for the treatment of HF.

Methods

The registration number assigned to this meta-analysis on the PROSPERO platform is CRD42022351918. Four databases were searched,
