Abstract:
The instability of atherosclerotic plaque would lead to the rupture of plaque, even acute coronary syndrome (ACS). To prevent the internal atherosclerosis plaque angiogenesis may play a very important role in stabilizing the vulnerable plaque. Traditional Chinese drugs show potential advantages in stabilizing AS plaque by its characteristics of multi-way, multi-link and multi-target all-sided treatment.
