This study was designed to elucidate the mechanism of YMB Injection on anti-CAD therapy. Fufang Danshen Injection was used as positive control and saline was taken as negative control to study the effects of traditional medicine YMB Injection on hemorheological parameters in normal rats and hypostasis rats. The results showed YMB Injection had no effect on hemorheological parameters of normal rats, but it could effectively decrease whole blood viscosity and whole blood reduction viscosity of hypostasis rats. The data implied that YMB Injection could decrease blood viscosity and hence improve blood supply of the graft in anti-CAD therapy.
