Methods: Seventy-two patients, who received ICS and had symptoms of chest stuffiness, palpitation and chest pain, were randomly divided into two groups, with 36 patients in the control group treated with Plavix alone for anti-platelet aggregation, and the other 36 patients in the treated group treated with Plavix and El in combination. CRP, ET-1, NO and SOD were determined and compared before and 1, 2 and 3 weeks after treatment. Results: As compared with those in the control group, improvement of symptoms in the treated group was significantly better, with the levels of CRP and ET-1 lower and levels of SOD and NO higher or approaching to normal ranges and significant difference was shown between the two groups (P〈0.01). Conclusion: El could alleviate uncomfortable feelings such as chest stuffiness in patients after lOS, and improve the function of vascular endothelium.展开更多
