Core Tip	Integrative medicine might provide better clinical results than evidence-based or Chinese medicines isolated for patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. The asserted issues highlighted in this paper (natural history of hypertension, pulse palpation, and herbal therapy) stimulate the increasing use of Chinese medicine for health care and the continuity of research on integrative medicine in the cardiovascular field. Conversely, some neglected issues (anatomical variations of vessels and comparative physiology) poses challenges that must not be overlooked in future research on this topic so that the integration of both traditional and current knowledge may be of benefit to the population with cardiovascular diseases.
