Therapeutic effect and potential mechanism of Fufang Danshen dripping pills for stable coronary heart disease: a randomized controlled trial

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Furthermore, we utilized mass spectrometry analysis, network pharmacology, and lipidomics to predict the potential mechanisms of FFDS in the treatment of SCHD.ResultsFollowing treatment, FFDS demonstrated significant improvements in serum triglyceride levels (P=0.013) and a reduction in the frequency of angina episodes (P=0.021).
