Abstract

Luobing theory is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and focuses on the regulation of blood circulation. The translation of Luobing theory into clinical practice has shown promising results in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Studies have reported the benefits of using Luobing theory in the treatment of metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, arrhythmia, and heart failure. This review article provides an overview of the evidence-based application of TCM Luobing theory in the treatment of CVDs. It also highlights the challenges and opportunities of translating TCM into clinical practice and provides valuable insights for future CVD research.
