Dr. Li Man
Patients with rheumatic heart disease can generally take Zhi Xue Bao Granules. Zhi Xue Bao Granules are a traditional Chinese medicine preparation that promotes blood circulation, stops bleeding, and inhibits local vasoconstriction. Taking an appropriate amount of these granules may help improve symptoms of rheumatic heart disease. However, patients with severe rheumatic heart disease should seek timely medical treatment and avoid using medications indiscriminately, which could delay proper diagnosis and management.
