Summary

This study looks at whether a traditional Chinese herbal prescription called Fuzheng Yangxin can help people recover more quickly after coronary artery bypass grafting. Researchers will follow 300 patients with a specific post-surgery syndrome (Qi-Yin deficiency) to see if the herb improves chest pain, quality of life, and safety compared to a placebo. The goal is to create a combined Chinese-Western medicine recovery plan.

What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a safe, add-on herbal therapy to speed recovery and improve quality of life after heart bypass surgery.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage observational study, not a large randomized trial. The herbal formula may not outperform placebo, and individual responses can vary. Allergic reactions or liver/kidney issues are possible.
