BACKGROUND: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a cardiovascular disease caused by myocardial ischemia. In China, safflor yellow and artemisinin-based combination therapies have been extensively used to treat angina pectoris. METHODS: Efficacies were provided by a network meta-analysis following the PRISMA 2020 checklist. Cost-effectiveness analysis was based on patient perspectives. Two-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the robustness of the study results. RESULTS: Conventional treatment combined with safflower is a better choice against angina pectoris. Sensitivity analysis showed that the model was sensitive to the treatment efficacy rather than the drug cost. CONCLUSION: Conventional treatment combined with safflower injection is suggested to treat angina pectoris. Low molecular weight heparin or compound Danshen-dropping pills can be used to increase the recovery rate of angina pectoris, according to conventional treatment combined with safflower injection.
