Primary Outcome Measures:

The proportion of patients in each treatment group who had clinically significant change as defined by the angina-frequency score on the Seattle Angina Questionnaire at day 30 [ Time Frame: Day 30 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Seattle Angina Questionnaire, a 19-item questionnaire that quantifies physical limitations due to angina, any recent change in the severity of angina, the frequency of angina, satisfaction with treatment, and quality of life. Scores range from 0 to 100; higher scores indicate better health status.With a score of 20 or more on the angina-frequency scale indicating that the patient was clinically significant change.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Total score of symptoms questionnaire of TCM [ Time Frame: Day 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The symptoms questionnaire of TCM consists of 6 symptoms that described in traditional Chinese medicine, including chest pain, chest distress, palpitation, dark-purple lip, dark-purple tongue and unsmooth pulse. Each symptom was assessed by the Visual Analogue Scale（VAS），where a higher score meant higher severity.
The proportion of patients in each treatment group who had clinically significant changes in the other four Seattle Angina Questionnaire scales （The physical limitation, angina stability, treatment satisfaction, and quality of life） [ Time Frame: Day 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
We defined clinical significant changes as a difference of 8 points or more on the physical-limitation scale, 25 or more on the angina-stability scale, 12 or more on the treatment-satisfaction scale, or 16 or more on the quality-of-life scale.
The frequency of anginal attack every week [ Time Frame: Day-7 (if exist), Day 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The frequency of anginal attack was recorded by the patients with the use of the diary cards which will be collected from the run-in period (Day -7) to the end of follow-up (Day 90).
Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) grading of angina pectoris [ Time Frame: Day 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Consumption of Short-acting Nitrates [ Time Frame: Day -7( if exist), Day 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Change in the electrocardiogram (EKG) [ Time Frame: Day 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 30, Day 60, Day 90 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Changes in the Serum Lipid, the high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein(hs-CRP) and the Platelet Aggregation Rate [ Time Frame: Day 0, Day 14 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Incidence of new-onset major vascular events in 90 days [ Time Frame: Day 90 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Major adverse vascular events include ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, TIA, myocardial infarction and vascular-related death.
Overall mortality in 90 days [ Time Frame: Day 90 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Incidence of severe hemorrhages in 90 days [ Time Frame: Day 90 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
The definition of "Severe hemorrhages" is in accordance with the GUSTO bleeding criteria, including fatal intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) or which could result in substantial hemodynamic compromise requiring treatment.
Incidence of moderate hemorrhages in 90 days [ Time Frame: Day 90 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
The definition of "moderate hemorrhages" is in accordance with the GUSTO bleeding criteria, which requires blood transfusion but not results in hemodynamic compromise.
Documentation of adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs [ Time Frame: 90 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Other Outcome Measures:

Changes in exercise tolerance tests (ETT)in 290 patients at day 14 [ Time Frame: Day 14 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Changes in Exercise Tolerance Tests (ETT) at day 14 was defined as change in time to 0.1mv ST-segment depression and change in the Total Exercise Duration (TED) during Exercise Tolerance Testing (ETT) from baseline to day 14.
The profiles of micro-RNA in 60 patients selected from certain centers [ Time Frame: Day 0, Day 14, Day 90 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
The profiles of mRNA in 60 patients selected from certain centers [ Time Frame: Day 0, Day 14, Day 90 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment:	870
Study Start Date:	December 2012

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Danhong injection Based on the standard medical care, 40ml of Danhong injection, added into 250ml of 0.9% saline, given by continuous IV infusion at 2.5ml/min within 2 hours.	Drug: Danhong injection A kind of injection made from two kind of Chinese herbs: salvia miltiorrhiza and safflower Other: Standard medical care Standard medical care is in accordance with China Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke (2010).
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Based on the standard medical care, placebo was 40ml of 0.9% saline, added into 250ml of 0.9% saline, given by continuous IV infusion at 2.5ml/min within 2 hours.	Other: Standard medical care Standard medical care is in accordance with China Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke (2010). Drug: Placebo 0.9% saline added into 250ml 0.9% saline by an independent research nurse, sealed with brown bag in order to make the investigators and patients blinded, using brown infusion tube for infusion.
