背景：中国以外地区对传统中医 (TCM) 的兴趣正在迅速增长。这种兴趣是由多种因素推动的，包括对中医潜在益处的认识；对西方传统医疗模式的不满；越来越多的人致力于整体护理，并且越来越多的证据表明心理因素与疾病和治疗结果以及健康消费者需求之间的相互作用。 目的：这篇综述文章是由于需要了解和解释中医在心脏病中的应用日益增长的趋势而提出的。特别是，本文定义和描述了中医，并分析了西方医疗保健提供模式的影响和挑战。文献检索：本文为讲英语的医疗保健专业人员提供了可获得的证据的回顾。对 CINAHL、MEDLINE、HealthSTAR、Academic ASAP 和 Cochrane 数据库进行了检索，确定了 1982 年以来发表的文献。还使用了互联网上的搜索引擎。使用的关键词示例为“传统中医”和“心”。结论：获取中医信息的困难对冠心病健康教育和患者安全具有影响。中医在西方和中国社会的迅速普及要求我们了解中医与西医治疗心脏病时的原理和潜在的相互作用。为了向使用联合疗法的患者提供安全有效的医疗保健，发展这种知识和理解至关重要。
BACKGROUND: Interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is growing rapidly beyond China. This interest is driven by a combination of factors including recognition of potential benefits of TCM; dissatisfaction with the traditional Western medical model; an increasing commitment to holistic care and increasing evidence for the interaction of psychological factors and outcomes of disease and treatment and health consumer demand.AIMS: This review article was prompted by the need to understand and interpret the increasing trend towards the use of TCM in heart disease. In particular, this article defines and describes TCM, and analyses implications and challenges for Western health care delivery models.LITERATURE SEARCH: This article provides a review of accessible evidence, to English speaking health care professionals. The CINAHL, MEDLINE, HealthSTAR, Academic ASAP and Cochrane databases were searched, identifying literature published from 1982. Search engines on the Internet were also used. Examples of keywords used were "Traditional Chinese Medicine" and "heart".CONCLUSION: Difficulties in accessing information regarding TCM have implications for health education in coronary heart disease and patient safety. The rapid uptake of TCM in both Western and Chinese societies mandates an understanding of the principles and potential interactions when TCM is complemented with Western medical treatment for heart disease. Development of this knowledge and understanding is essential in order to provide safe and effective health care to patients who use combination therapies.
