Abstract

Myocardial infarction (MI) is an acute and critical cardiovascular disease characterized by acute myocardial ischemia and necrosis due to coronary artery occlusion. It has the characteristics of high morbidity, rapid progression, and high mortality, seriously threatening human life and health. Western medicine has mature treatment systems for MI, such as reperfusion therapy, antiplatelet aggregation, and lipid-lowering therapy, which can quickly relieve acute symptoms but have limitations in improving long-term prognosis and reducing complications. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), based on the holistic concept and syndrome differentiation and treatment, has unique advantages in regulating qi and blood, unblocking collaterals, and promoting myocardial repair. Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine (TCM-WM) therapy combines the advantages of both, complementing each other to optimize the treatment effect.
