Many overseas patients ask: "TCM or Western medicine — which should I choose?" Actually, it's not an "either/or" question — the best answer is "both, working together."
How Does Western Medicine Treat Cardiovascular Disease?
Western medicine's approach is "precision targeting": use medication or surgery to directly address the problem.
- Hypertension: Antihypertensives — bring BP numbers down
- Coronary disease: Stent implantation (PCI), CABG
- Diabetes: Glucose-lowering drugs, insulin
Strengths: Clear efficacy, mature emergency techniques. Limitations: Some medications have side effects.
How Does TCM Treat Cardiovascular Disease?
TCM's approach is "holistic concept": the human body is an integrated whole.
Strengths: Improves overall constitution, reduces Western medication side effects. Limitations: Slower effect.
Integrated Treatment: Combining Both
TEDANCD's integrated model:
- Western medicine handles "precise control"
- TCM handles "holistic regulation"
- Joint consultations: both Western and TCM physicians work together
