The current clinical guidelines in HF have begun to emphasize the importance of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

This review summarizes the classification, pathophysiology, and treatment of HF from three perspectives: Western medicine, TCM, and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine (ITCWM). Emphasizing the most recent evidence, this review consolidates knowledge on ITCWM treatments for HF pertaining to different TCM syndromes, including TCM decoctions, oral patent Chinese medicine, TCM injections, as well as therapies like acupuncture and moxibustion. Additionally, this review explores TCM approaches to HF prevention, such as tai chi, Baduanjin exercise, and <i>Sanfu</i> acupoint herbal patching. The findings of this study suggest that ITCWM holds promise for the treatment and rehabilitation of HF.

In the development of modern medicine, TCM bears the responsibility of inheriting Chinese culture, while integrating with modern science and technology to continuously promote medical progress. The theory of “state-target differentiation and treatment” is an innovative model combining Chinese and Western medicine that has provided a new mindset and method for modernizing TCM. This theory not only guides the reconstruction of modern TCM diagnosis and treatment systems, but also strongly promotes the reconstruction of the modern herbal system. As an emerging bioinformatics technology, phenomics research can reveal biological processes dynamically and quantitatively, which will help “open the black box” of TCM by providing technical methods to reveal the nature of “state” and the mechanism of “state modulation” in TCM. TCM can provide a valuable clinical reference from the perspective of disease cognition, sort out phenomics information parameters systematically and uniformly, and provide more accurate and meaningful data for phenomics research. The in-depth combination of TCM and phenomics from the concept and technology will vigorously promote the development of human precision medicine. Modern TCM research guided by the theory of state-target differentiation and treatment can effectively improve the scientific basis and targetability of clinical treatments and can also initiate a breakthrough in the integration of Chinese and Western medicine, further promoting the profound communication and cooperation between Chinese and Western medicine, so as to achieve better development of medicine in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":100029,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Chinese Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"3-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/acm4.8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140266001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TCM stands not only as a cherished national treasure but also as a shared heritage for people worldwide. After Western medicine was introduced into China over a century ago, it sparked a fervent clash with TCM due to the cultural disparities and fundamental theoretical differences between the two. Nevertheless, amidst the debates over right and wrong, and the quest for scientific superiority between Chinese and Western medicine, it is crucial to remember that the core purpose of medicine is to heal the ailing and preserve the living, with efficacy serving as the ultimate criterion for discerning truth. Consequently, following the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the Chinese government formulated a fundamental health policy, advocating for the integration, communication, and cooperative advancement of Chinese and Western medicine. Guided by this approach, China's medical and health endeavors have flourished, epitomized by their resounding triumph in combatting the COVID-19 pandemic.</p><p>In recent years, the rapid advancements of science and technology have contributed significantly to the development of modern medicine. However, despite these remarkable achievements, the current medical system still faces numerous challenges due to the complexity of human diseases. Malignant tumors, immunological disorders, rapid outbreaks of novel infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and other complex conditions still pose severe challenges to human health. In light of this, TCM, though an ancient medical system, offers distinctive insights into human physiology, pathology, and natural medicine pharmacology, which hold tremendous potential for catalyzing the growth and advancement of human medicine.</p><p>As our understanding of diseases and health improves, modern medicine has gradually shifted from a micro perspective to a macro one, as exemplified by the emergence of concepts such as phenomics and integrative medicine. TCM too, evolves in tandem with current science and technology, such as with the rise of microcosmic syndrome differentiation, the combination of disease and syndrome, as well as state-targeted differentiation and treatment. Consequently, the future trajectory of human medicine lies in the development of a new medical system that integrates both macro and micro approaches.</p><p>Against this background, the National Medical Center of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine of China-Japan Friendship Hospital and the Higher Education Press are proud to jointly announce the publication of <i>Advanced Chinese Medicine</i> (ACM).
