Research Progress in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation with Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine
Atrial fibrillation(AF)refers to the irregular beating or trembling of the heart's atria,resulting in irregular heart rhythms and is a common clinical arrhythmia.AF often occurs in conjunction with other cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and hypertension,leading to blood pooling in the heart and increasing the risk of thrombus formation,thereby triggering a stroke,and even further impairing heart function,potentially leading to heart failure.Therefore,standardized treatment of AF is crucial in reducing adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.Currently,Western medicine has certain limitations in the treatment of AF,while traditional Chinese medicine treatment of AF has advantages such as fewer adverse reactions and better clinical efficacy.This paper reviews the recent research progress in AF treatment combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine by examining literature from CNKI,PubMed,VIP,and Wanfang databases from 2014 to 2024,providing a theoretical basis for future research.
