Objectives of Study:

By studying the clinical efficacy of Yixintong Capsules in patients with heart failure after acute myocardial infarction and its targeted metabolomics this research aims to explore the role of traditional Chinese medicine in improving cardiac function after acute myocardial infarction reducing the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and alleviating patients' clinical symptoms. The findings will provide new clinical data for practical applications and seek safer and more effective treatment options.

Description for medicine or protocol of treatment in detail:

**Control Group:** Patients received conventional Western medicine treatment including: - **Aspirin enteric-coated tablets** (50 mg) orally once daily one tablet per dose. - **Ticagrelor tablets** (90 mg) orally twice daily one tablet per dose. - **Atorvastatin calcium tablets** (20 mg) orally once daily one tablet per dose. - **Metoprolol succinate sustained-release tablets** (47.5 mg) starting at 11.875 mg per dose orally once daily. The dosage was adjusted based on blood pressure and heart rate with a maximum dose of one tablet (47.5 mg) once daily. - **Furosemide tablets** (20 mg) orally once daily one tablet per dose. - **Spironolactone tablets** (20 mg) orally once daily one tablet per dose. - **Sacubitril/valsartan tablets** (*Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation* 50 mg) starting at 25 mg per dose orally twice daily. The dosage was adjusted based on blood pressure with a maximum dose of two tablets (50 mg each) twice daily. **Treatment Group:** On the basis of the control group patients additionally received **Yixintong Capsules** (*prepared by Tai'an Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital*; specification: 0.39 g per capsule; approval number: Luyaozhi Z09080083). The main ingredients include *Panax notoginseng (Sanqi) Red ginseng Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen) Astragalus membranaceus (Huangqi) Dalbergia odorifera (Jiangxiang) Pueraria lobata (Gegen) Bitter orange (Zhike) Hirudo (Shuizhi) Earthworm (Dilong) Dried tangerine peel (Chenpi) Ligusticum chuanxiong (Chuanxiong) Corydalis yanhusuo (Yanhusuo) Ophiopogon japonicus (Maidong) and Spatholobus suberectus (Jixueteng).* - **Dosage:** Four capsules per dose three times daily. All medications were provided by the **Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmacy of Tai'an Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital** ensuring a fixed source. The treatment duration for both groups was **12 weeks** with comparisons of various indicators before and after treatment.

Exclusion criteria:

1) Patients with restrictive cardiomyopathy dilated cardiomyopathy rheumatic heart disease hypertrophic (obstructive) cardiomyopathy uncorrected primary valvular disease myocarditis or malignant arrhythmias; 2) Patients with liver and kidney dysfunction malignant tumors autoimmune diseases or hematological disorders; 3) Patients with cardiogenic shock systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg or severe infections; 4) Patients with allergies to multiple drugs or those with allergic constitutions; 5) Pregnant or breastfeeding women; 6) Patients who have participated in other clinical trials within the past 2 months or have taken other traditional Chinese medicine decoctions within the past 2 weeks.
