ABSTRACT

Predecessors said that "blindly Danshen Yin, Gongtong Siwu decoction", that is, the effect of promoting blood circulation of Salvia miltiorrhiza can be comparable to that of Angelica sinensis, Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Paeoniae Alba and Ligusticum chuanxiong. Modern Salvia miltiorrhiza is commonly used in the treatment of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases, especially in anti-atherosclerosis, and the curative effect is remarkable, but the specific mechanism of its effect is not clear. Atherosclerosis refers to vascular endothelial injury, fibrous tissue hyperplasia and calcareous deposition, which accumulate in the intima, resulting in vascular wall thickening and hardening, vascular lumen stenosis, so it is important to intervene in the formation of atherosclerosis for clinical prevention and treatment of acute coronary syndrome. It's important to reduce mortality. This article focuses on the possible mechanism of Salvia miltiorrhiza in anti-atherosclerosis and provides new ideas for the treatment of atherosclerosis in the future.
