At present

the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease（ ASCVD） has not been fully elucidated

and there has no radical treatment. ASCVD has the characteristics of sudden onset

multiple disease changes

and repeated course of disease

which are similar to the pathogenic characteristics of "wind pathogenic"in traditional Chinese medicine. The occurrence and development of ASCVD are closely related to "wind pathogenic ".The theory of "endogenous collateral wind"is used to explain it. The application of "wind-related medicine"in the treatment of ASCVD was emphasized

which can provide an new idea for the treatment of ASCVD with traditional Chinese medicine.
