Abstract:
Evidence based medicine is not quite the same as traditional medicine, as the former stresses the combination of evidence and doctors experience, failure to achieve which will be disadvantageous to patients. In recent years, evidence based medicine has been growing silently in China. At present the ideology of evidence based medicine is being widely applied to the treatment of cardiovascular disease, including hypertension, arrhythmia, heart failure, myocardial infarction, etc. and the regulation of fat metabolism. Some medications harmful to patients have been discarded and curative effects have been improved. Of course, there are still some shortcomings. Yet evidence based medicine has also exerted an effect on people in the medical circle and the making of medical decisions.
