      medicine intervention on the basis of standardized western medicine treatment could further
      reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events in patients with angina pectoris after coronary
      revascularization compared with western medicine treatment, and to conduct objective
      follow-up. Evaluation of integrated Chinese and Western medicine interventions. Clinical
      efficacy of angina pectoris after coronary revascularization and characteristic advantages of
      TCM syndrome improvement.

      The trial is a multicenter, prospective clinical cohort study design. It is expected that
      2,000 subjects will be included, and they will be divided into 4 groups according to whether

      group received only western medicine basic treatment, and the other three groups received
      Chinese medicine treatment combined with western medicine basic treatment (the difference was
      that the cumulative treatment time of Chinese medicine reached 80%, 30%-79% or 30% of the
      total course of treatment, respectively). Among them, Chinese medicines (including Chinese
      patent medicines, Chinese medicine decoctions, Chinese medicine granules, and Chinese
      medicine injections) have been used and/or taken for 5 months in total.

      The duration of treatment (including follow-up) in this trial was 24 months. Study data were
      recorded at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24 months.
