It has been discovered that the number of hypertensive patients with various types of sleep disorders is on the rise, which significantly increases the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular diseases. Modern medicine has not reached a consensus on the mechanism and treatment of these diseases but relies on drugs to improve sleep disorders and blood pressure. We regard TCM syndrome differentiation as the breakthrough point, along with comprehensive modern and traditional medical methods based on dialectical thinking as means of holistic and symptomatic treatment of Western medicine integrated with the eight principles of TCM diagnosis, Zang-Fu organs, six meridians, Qi, blood and fluid, as well as other dialectical methods, in order to provide a broader idea for TCM treatment and lay a foundation for further and better development of integrated TCM and Western medicine treatment.
