Abstract
In recent years, evidence-based medicine (EBM) has bloomed and become the main reference in modern medicine. EBM makes up for the medicine deficiency of empiricism which has been reigning clinical medicine field in the last century. Many of its hypothesis theories are overthrown by evidence-based medicine on account of which doctors’ clinical decisions are influenced or even changed to a great extent by EBM. For patients of cardiovascular disease, although traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is growingly embraced and accepted by modern medicine, mainstream medicine field holds mixed opinions towards clinical curative effect of Chinese medicine. Thus It is high time traditional Chinese medicine introduce evidence-based medicine in order to evaluate curative effects of Chinese medicine. This article tries to discuss the inner relationship between TCM and EMB and advise on strategy of TCM clinical evaluation with the view of evidence-based medicine.
