Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
6-Minutes-Walking-Test (6MWT) in week 12Baseline to weeks 12

Change from baseline to weeks 12 in exercise capacity as measured by the 6-Minutes-Walking-Test (6MWT) distance.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
6-Minutes-Walking-Test (6MWT) in weeks 4 and 8Baseline to weeks 4 and 8

Change from baseline to weeks 4 and 8 in exercise capacity as measured by the 6-Minutes-Walking-Test (6MWT) distance.

Cardiovascular adverse eventsWeek 12

To determine whether the incidence of cardiovascular adverse events during the study period was superior to placebo.

Echocardiogram resultsBaseline to weeks 4,8 and 12

1. Change from baseline to weeks 4,8 and 12 in left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVEDD) measured by echocardiography;

2. Change from baseline to weeks 4,8 and 12 in left ventricular end diastolic volume(LVEDV) measured by echocardiography;

3. Change from baseline to weeks 4,8 and 12 in left ventricular end systolic volume(LVESV) measured by echocardiography;

4. Change from baseline to weeks 4,8 and 12 in left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) measured by echocardiography;

5. Change from baseline to weeks 4,8 and 12 in stroke volume(SV) measured by echocardiography;

6. Change from baseline to weeks 4,8 and 12 in cardiac output(CO) measured by echocardiography.

NYHA classificationBaseline to weeks 4,8 and 12

Percentage of subjects whose NYHA classification improved/worsened/remained unchanged from baseline to weeks 4,8 and 12.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome ScoreBaseline to weeks 4,8 and 12

Change from baseline to weeks 4,8 and 12 in Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Score. There were 3 clinical primary symptoms, 4 clinical secondary symptoms, tongue picture and pulse condition evaluated as TCM symptoms, which was defined as TCM syndrome score. The standard of TCM primary symptoms scored as without 0, light 2, medium 4, heavy 6 points. The standard of TCM secondary symptoms scored as without 0, with 1 points. Tongue picture and pulse condition did not count.

Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire(MLHFQ)Baseline to weeks 4,8 and 12

Change from baseline to weeks 4,8 and 12 in Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire(MLHFQ). The MLHFQ is a self-administered questionnaire for patients with HF, comprising 21 items representing different degrees of impact of HF on health-related quality of life. Every item in this questionnaire scores from 0 (none) to 5 (very much) and the total items score from 0 (none) to 105 (very much).
