    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Change in 24-h number of PVCs after 8-week treatment
    Effective rate of 24-h number of PVCs after 8-week treatment.
    the definition of "effective" is, premature ventricular complex decreased by 50%-70% compared with baseline in the Holter result.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    change in New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification
    Marked effective NYHA improvement was defined as reduction of NYHA grade by ≥2; effective NYHA improvement was defined as reduction of NYHA grade by 1; non-effective NYHA improvement was defined as no change or elevation of NYHA grade.
    total effective rate of comprehensive effect
    Total effective rate of comprehensive effect was defined as total symptom score; clinical recovery was defined as significant improvement of clinical symptoms and reduction of symptom score by ≥90%.
    change in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level
    change in echocardiography parameter left ventricular ejection fraction
    change in echocardiography parameter left ventricular end diastolic dimension

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    Objective: investigators investigated the effects of metoprolol tartrate plus Tongmai Yangxin Pill on premature ventricular complexes and cardiac function in patients with premature ventricular complex. Methods: In total, 584 participants with premature ventricular complex will be randomly assigned (at a 1:1 ratio) into two groups: study group (metoprolol tartrate [25 mg twice per day, orally] plus Tongmai Yangxin Pill [40 pills twice per day, orally]) and control group (metoprolol tartrate [25 mg twice per day, orally] plus placebo [40 simulated pills twice per day, orally]). The total treatment period is 8 weeks. Efficacy endpoints and safety assessment: Primary efficacy endpoints are as follows: change in 24-h number of PVCs after treatment and effective rate of 24-h number of PVCs after treatment. Secondary efficacy endpoints are as follows: change in New York Heart Association classification; total effective rate of comprehensive effect; change in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level; and change in echocardiography parameters (i.e., left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end diastolic dimension, E/A, cardiac index, cardiac output, and stroke volume).

    Masking Description
    Prior to the start of the study, the sponsor (or contract research organization) and statistician will make masking of the research drugs. The statistician in this study used statistical software to generate random coding table according to the method of stratified block randomization. Personnel who have no involvement in this study will paste the corresponding drug number on the drug packaging according to the random coding.

    Tongmai Yangxin Pill (TMYXP)
    Intervention Description
    TMYXP is a Chinese patent medicine developed by many years of clinical practice experience. The ingredients of TMYXP are Radix Rehmanniae, Caulis Spatholobi, Polygonum Multiflorum, Colla Corii Asini, Ophiopogonis, Tortoise Shell (vinegar), Radix Codonopsis, Cassia Twig, Jujube, Schisandra Fruit, and Licorice Root. It has the effect of invigorating Qi, nourishing Yin, dredging the pulse, and relieving pain. It is used in treatment of Qi and Yin deficiency syndromes caused by coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, and arrhythmia. Metoprolol tartrate (a heart-selective β-blocker) is a class II antiarrhythmic medication that decreases the ventricular rate of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias by inhibition of atrioventricular conduction.
