Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac rhythm disturbance, rising in prevalence with age. Only suppression of the issue and antiarrhythmic drugs are used to reduce symtoms. The text discusses Wen Xin Ke Li as a potential treatment for AF.
Conclusions
In clinical practice, WXKL can markedly improve the patients' symptoms and that it have significant effects on ameliorating different types of arrhythmias.Therefore, we propose WXKL, as a novel Chinese herb medicine may have a potential role in the prevention and treatment of AF.
