Results: In the study, 12 trials were included. The total number of cases is 1139. The Meta analysis results showed that: Compared with western medicine the integration of TCM and western medicine would improve the antihypertensive efficacy [OR=0.39, 95%CI (0.25, 0.59), Z=4.38(P< 0.0001)], lower Hcy levels [WMD=-1.93, 95%CI (-2.27, 0.21), Z=4.38 (P< 0.0001)]. Conclusion: The combination therapy can effectively reduce Hcy levels, control blood pressure, better than Western medicine.
