Chinese Herbal Treatment After Heart Artery Opening
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a Chinese herbal medicine called Qidan Xiaoke Granules can help patients recover better after a procedure to open blocked heart arteries (called PCI). The goal is to see if this herbal treatment reduces heart problems after the procedure.
