Abstract

The dramatic development of modern medicine on patho physiology, diagnosis and therapeutic technique of coronary heart disease (CHD) has brought great challenge to the position of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and integrative Chinese and Western medicine (ICWM) in preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases. Although great progress has been achieved recently in this field, many difficulties and problems still remain unresolved. Countermeasures and prospects were put forward in this article.
