Resarch Progress of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Acute Coronary Syndrome
Objective To summarize the syndrome types and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)treatment regimens of acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods Relevant literature on TCM in the treatment of various syndrome types of ACS in the databases such as CNKI,WanFang,VIP,and PubMed from the inception of each database to December 31,2023 was searched.The current application of TCM in the treatment of ACS was summarized,and the recommendations were provided.Results and Conclusion At present,TCM treatment for ACS focuses on prevention and treatment based on Qi and regulation of Yin and Yang,and the plaques are stabilized by multi-target and multi-link intervention;Chinese patent medicines have been developed,which are more convenient in application.Most of the prescriptions have the functions of protecting vascular endothelium,inhibiting proliferation and migration of smooth muscle cells,slowing down liposome peroxidation,regulating lipid metabolism and inhibiting platelet aggregation,which are of great significance in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis.In the future,applying modern pharmaceutical technology to the development of related TCM preparations is expected to achieve better efficacy by innovative dosage forms and combined with other TCM treatment methods.
