Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of Banxia Houpu Decoction combined with oxygen therapy on senile pulmonary heart disease and the effect on myocardial function. Methods A total of 80 elderly patients with pulmonary heart disease in stable stage from July 2021 to March 2023 were selected as research objects.Randomized number table method was used to divide 40 cases into two groups, the control group was given oxygen therapy, the study group was given Banxia Houpu decoction combined with oxygen therapy. Chinese medicine symptom score was evaluated before and after treatment, arterial blood gas analysis, lung function, echocardiography and serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level were detected, and the number of acute exacerbations within 3 months were recorded. Results After treatment, only mPAP in the two groups showed a significant decrease in echocardiography (P<0.05), while other indicators showed no significant changes (P>0.05). The mPAP in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05); The serum BNP levels in both groups decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the study group was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05); Both groups showed varying degrees of improvement in lung function, with FEV1 and FEV1/FVC significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (P<0.05); Both groups showed significant improvement in arterial blood gas indicators (P<0.05). The levels of PaO2 in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group, while PaCO2 was significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05); The number of acute exacerbations in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Banxia Houpu Decoction combined with oxygen therapy can effectively improve arterial blood gas analysis, reduce pulmonary hypertension, decrease serum BNP level, improve lung function to a certain extent, and help reduce the risk of acute exacerbation in elderly patients with pulmonary heart disease in remission.
