To analyze the efficacy and safety of Shensong Yangxin Capsules in treatment of bradycardia combined with premature beat. Databases, such as CNKI, VIP, WanFang, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials were retrieved by computers for relevant randomized controlled trials of Shensong Yangxin Capsules in treatment of bradycardia combined with premature beat. Two researchers independently screened out the literatures, extracted data according to the inclusion criteria, and applied the Risk of Bias assessment tool in assessing the methodological quality. The Cochrane systematic evaluation software RevMan 5.3 was used for data analysis. Totally 9 randomized controlled trials including 706 subjects were included. The intervention measure was the single administration with Shensong Yangxin Capsules, and the control measure was the blank control. The results showed that Shensong Yangxin Capsules had an obvious effect on average heart rate(MD=6.59, 95%CI[3.87, 9.31], I~2=90%), premature beat efficacy(RR=1.72, 95%CI[1.53, 1.93], I~2=0%), heart rate efficacy(RR=1.74, 95%CI[1.40, 2.17], I~2=47%), and objective efficacy(RR=1.50, 95%CI[1.31, 1.70], I~2=31%). Eight studies reported safety events, with no significant adverse reaction. In conclusion, the single administration with Shensong Yangxin Capsules may have a certain effect in improving heart rate, controlling premature beats and alleviating clinical symptoms in patients with bradycardia combined with premature beat, with no obvious adverse reaction. Shensong Yangxin Capsules can be used in clinic. This potential conclusion needs to be confirmed in future trials using rigorous methodology.
