May support TCM as adjunct in HFpEF; leaves open need for rigorous RCTs.
Traditional Chinese medicine serves as a complementary strategy that may improve clinical symptoms and prognosis in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Fan et al. (2023) conducted a review in Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) vs. Western medicine / Standard of care was evaluated. Traditional Chinese medicine improves clinical symptoms, quality of life, overall motor function, and prevents the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
