Research on the Clinical Effect of Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction in Treating Unstable Angina.

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study evaluates the clinical efficacy of Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction in the treatment of unstable angina pectoris. All of the patients will be divided into 2 arms randomly. One of the arms will be treated by conventional western medicine, the other one will be treated by Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction at the base of conventional western medicine.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction has the function of activating qi and promoting blood circulation, which will be used to treat patients with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome.
