Abstract:
The high morbidity and fatality rates of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases seriously harm human health，greatly affect the quality of life and increase the burden of disease. Thus， more and more attention has been paid to the relationship between heart and brain. "Simultaneous treatment of heart and brain" is the continuous deepening and development of the theory of "simultaneous treatment of different diseases" in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， and exploring the relationship between heart and brain as well as the current situation of Chinese medicine treatment has important clinical significance for the establishment of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine diagnosis and treatment programs of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Through a systematic theoretical tracing of the "simultaneous treatment of heart and brain"，the authors held that cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases had the same origin，and that heart and brain took blood as the material basis and governed mind jointly. They also expounded the modern biological relationship of the simultaneous treatment of heart and brain. In other words，the pathogenic factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were the same， with complicated comorbidities， and the disorders of neurohumoral reflex and endocrine system and immune system regulation could affect each other's function. Additionally，the present situation of clinical application of Chinese medicine for simultaneous treatment of heart and brain and its intervention effect on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were discussed. It was found that these Chinese medicines could protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases through multi-target，multi-pathway and multi-link regulation. Combined with the existing problems in the current research，the authors thought and looked forward to the practical strategies of treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases with Chinese medicine by paying attention to key groups，focusing on dominant diseases，giving full play to the value of Chinese medicine，and scientifically explaining the connotation of simultaneous treatment of heart and brain， in order to provide ideas and reference for the follow-up transformation application research and better guidance of clinical practice.
