An Overview of Systematic Reviews on the Effectiveness of Wenxin Keli in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias. Wenxin Keli (WXKL) is a Chinese herbal extract widely used in China to treat patients with atrial fibrillation. This study aimed to outline and summarize the current evidence of systematic reviews (SRs)/meta-analyses (MAs) investigating the clinical efficacy of WXKL in atrial fibrillation.

Methods

From inception to December 2021, 6 electronic databases in English and Chinese were searched for potential SRs/MAs. The GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation), PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) checklist, and AMSTAR-2 (Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews-2) were used to evaluate the quality of the evidence
