Aim: This review paper aims to familiarize the health practitioner with common components of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and to provide general clinical recommendations in the context of cardiovascular disease prevention. Methods: Three databases (EMBASE, PubMed, and Web of Science) were searched for results relating to TCM, cardiovascular disease, and prevention. Clinically relevant results from systemic reviews as well as individual randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were reviewed and presented in this paper. Conclusion: Currently there is insufficient or conflicting evidence for the use of TCM in cardiovascular disease prevention.
