At present, the mortality rate and disability rate caused by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are very high in China. Individuals with refractory hypertension are at a greater risk of developing chronic kidney disease, heart failure, stroke and myocardial infarction. Therefore, how to effectively control blood pressure and identify the cause of refractory hypertension is a problem that medical workers need to solve, and it is also the key to prevent cardiovascular disease. In recent years, the government actively supports the development of traditional Chinese medicine. Since the curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine is recognized by the public, the prospect of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of refractory hypertension is considerable, and it is expected to become the main key research direction in the future.
