Effects of Dioscorea Yam Gruel on Blood Lipid Profiles in PCI Patients With Coronary Heart Disease
Sponsor: 900th Hospital of PLA Joint Logistic Support Force
Summary
This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of Dioscorea yam gruel on blood lipid levels in patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). A total of 72 eligible post-PCI patients were randomly assigned to the control group or the intervention group. Patients in the control group received standard post-procedural treatment and care. In addition to this standard regimen, those in the intervention group were provided with approximately 150 g of Dioscorea yam gruel daily as a partial dinner replacement for 12 consecutive weeks. Serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and body mass index (BMI) were measured at baseline, and at 8 weeks and 12 weeks of the intervention.
