Abstract Summary
Shenfu injection, a traditional Chinese medicine, shows promise as add-on therapy for heart attack patients. In a trial of 245 STEMI patients undergoing PCI, those receiving Shenfu had 37% fewer in-hospital arrhythmias, smaller infarct size, and better 12-month outcomes compared to standard care aloneโsuggesting cardioprotective benefits worth further investigation.
