Overview
Evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of Jia Shen Tablets in patients with Chronic Heart Failure.
Description
Jia Shen Tablets are oral, compound traditional chinese medicine. This open label, standardise-loaded and single-Centre phase Ⅰb clinical trial will evaluate the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of Jia Shen Tablets in treatment of coronary heart disease complicating chronic heart failure (syndrome of Yang deficiency with blood stasis) and preliminarily evaluate the efficacy and safety.
