Methods： Randomized controlled trials of all the languages of MahuangFuzi Xixin Decoction on sick sinus syndrome were collected by computer search and manual retrieval. Theretrieval time was from January 2000 to January 2017. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 2reviewers independently selected and extracted data, then evaluated the quality, cross-checked the information andevaluated the quality of menthodology. Through discussion or third reviewer to help solve the divergence, RevMan5.3 software was used to perform meta analysis. Results： A total of 7 documents （n = 612） were finally enrolled,with 358 in Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction group （treatment group） and 254 in control group. Meta analysisshowed that the treatment （86.9%） was more effective than the control （70.1%）, the difference was statisticallysignificant （RR = 1.25, 95% CI：（1.15-1.37）, P 〈 0.001）; the treatment （17.0%） was safer than the control （49.8%）,the difference was statistically significant （RR=0.23,95% CI：（0.06-0.93）, P =0.04）. Conclusion： The existingclinical studies suggest that Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction on sick sinus syndrome is effective and safe; due to thelimited quality of the enrolled documents, the above conclusions need more high-quality randomized controlledtrials to be verified.展开更多
