Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The proportion of patients in each treatment group who had clinically significant change as defined by the angina-frequency score on the Seattle Angina Questionnaire at day 30Day 30

Seattle Angina Questionnaire, a 19-item questionnaire that quantifies physical limitations due to angina, any recent change in the severity of angina, the frequency of angina, satisfaction with treatment, and quality of life. Scores range from 0 to 100; higher scores indicate better health status.With a score of 20 or more on the angina-frequency scale indicating that the patient was clinically significant change.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The frequency of anginal attack every weekDay-7 (if exist), Day 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90

The frequency of anginal attack was recorded by the patients with the use of the diary cards which will be collected from the run-in period (Day -7) to the end of follow-up (Day 90).

Total score of symptoms questionnaire of TCMDay 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90

The symptoms questionnaire of TCM consists of 6 symptoms that described in traditional Chinese medicine, including chest pain, chest distress, palpitation, dark-purple lip, dark-purple tongue and unsmooth pulse. Each symptom was assessed by the Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),where a higher score meant higher severity.

The proportion of patients in each treatment group who had clinically significant changes in the other four Seattle Angina Questionnaire scales (The physical limitation, angina stability, treatment satisfaction, and quality of life)Day 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90

We defined clinical significant changes as a difference of 8 points or more on the physical-limitation scale, 25 or more on the angina-stability scale, 12 or more on the treatment-satisfaction scale, or 16 or more on the quality-of-life scale.

Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) grading of angina pectorisDay 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90
Incidence of new-onset major vascular events in 90 daysDay 90

Major adverse vascular events include ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, TIA, myocardial infarction and vascular-related death.

Overall mortality in 90 daysDay 90
Consumption of Short-acting NitratesDay -7( if exist), Day 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90
Change in the electrocardiogram (EKG)Day 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90
Incidence of severe hemorrhages in 90 daysDay 90

The definition of "Severe hemorrhages" is in accordance with the GUSTO bleeding criteria, including fatal intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) or which could result in substantial hemodynamic compromise requiring treatment.

Changes in the Serum Lipid, the high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein(hs-CRP) and the Platelet Aggregation RateDay 0, Day 14
Incidence of moderate hemorrhages in 90 daysDay 90

The definition of "moderate hemorrhages" is in accordance with the GUSTO bleeding criteria, which requires blood transfusion but not results in hemodynamic compromise.
