Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Guanxin Shutong Capsule 3 capsules once, tid, Oral Duration: 4 weeks |
Drug: Guanxin Shutong Capsule
3 capsules three times a day; Duration: 4 weeks. Number of Cycles: until progression or unacceptable toxicity develops.
Drug: nitroglycerine
Adults: 0.25mg-0.5mg (half pill or 1 pill) once, sub-lingual. One more pill per 5 minutes untill pain relief. If total dose is 3 pills in 15 minutes and the pain is still in, please seek medical advice urgently.
The participators in both arms who have agina symptom will take Nitroglycerine. So the accumulated consumption of participators is the one of the maesuremnts.
