Further study details as provided by Xijing Hospital:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The change of myocardial ischemic injury markers,including serum level of c-reactive protein and Troponin I [ Time Frame: 10 minutes before EA, 10 minutes pre-operation,the day of post-operation, 24hours post-operation, 72 hours post-operation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    to observe the change of the level of multiple myocardial ischemic injury markers at the different time points.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • The change of ST segment of EEG at different time points [ Time Frame: 10 minutes before EA, 10 minutes pre-operation,the day of post-operation, 24hours post-operation, 72 hours post-operation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Cardiac ultrasonic scan [ Time Frame: five days pre-operation , five days post-operation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    be aware of cardiac function

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: EA preconditioning
electroacupuncture five days pre-operation
 Device: EA preconditioning
EA preconditioning group was treated at bilateral Neiguan(PC 6)，Lieque(LU 7)and Yunmen(LU 2)with electrical stimulation(5—30 Hz，2．34—6．24 mA，30 min)for 5 consecutive days before surgery
Other Name: Huantuo sdz-Ⅱ,Suzhou Medical Limit
Sham Comparator: Sham EA preconditioning
Patients treated with sham EA preconditioning Intervention
 Device: sham EA preconditioning
Patients in Sham EA preconditioning group was treated at bilateral Neiguan(PC 6)，Lieque(LU 7)and Yunmen(LU 2)without electrical stimulation(5—30 Hz，2．34—6．24 mA，30 min)for 5 consecutive days before surgery

Detailed Description:

BACKGROUND:

With the development of surgical techniques, more and more people with coronary heart disease underwent non-cardiac surgery, which include abdominal, urologic, orthopedic surgeries. Due to the vulnerable heart function, geriatric patients suffer high incidence of cardiovascular events during the peri-operative period. Some studies found that EA preconditioning have a protective effect for the patients underwent Cardiac surgery. But non one addresses the effects of EA preconditioning on the outcomes of the patients with coronary heart disease who undergo non-cardiac surgery.

DESIGNING:

The patients with coronary heart disease who will receive abdominal surgery will be randomly assigned into EA preconditioning group and control group. The patients in EA preconditioning group was treated at bilateral Neiguan (PC 6)，Lieque (LU 7) and Yunmen (LU 2) with electrical stimulation (5—30 Hz，2．34—6．24 mA，30 min) for 5 consecutive days before surgery．Before operation and before surgery, after surgery, 24h, 72h post surgery, all patients will be subjected to test the serum level of c-reactive protein and Troponin I. The EEG and heart ultrasonic exam will be used to evaluate the condition and function of heart before and after surgery.
