Despite recent medical advances, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world. Interventional therapy (IT) is the milestone of therapy of CVDs and has developed rapidly in recent years. Despite its proven benefit, recurrent cardiovascular events are still a big challenge in cardiology field. Plants have been used for medicinal purposes for as long as history has been recorded. Great varieties of plants are used for medicinal treatments and many new drugs have been discovered from herbal sources. Herbal medicine (HM) means use of natural plant substances (botanicals) to treat and prevent illness. Based on the integrative medicine of Eastern and Western, the application of HM has a valuable significance in reducing the risk of cardiovascular event. During the past decades, some HM products went into Europe and United States for prevention and treatment of CVDs or prevention of instent restenosis after IT, however, as the complementary and alternative remedies. Widespread use has increased much demands that HM be regulated as drugs to insure the efficacy, mechanisms, and safety.

In this special issue, we invite authors to contribute original researches and review articles that will help to illuminate the efficacy, mechanisms, and safety of herbal medicine after intervention therapies in CVDs from theoretical innovation and basic and clinical research.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Recent advances in herbal medicine therapies after interventional therapy in cardiovascular diseases
• Randomized controlled trials with well-selected end points to assess the efficacy of herbal medicine therapies after interventional therapy in cardiovascular diseases
• In vivo and in vitro studies related to the herbal medicine therapies after interventional therapy in cardiovascular diseases
• Safety and pharmacovigilance regarding herbal medicine therapies after interventional therapy in cardiovascular diseases
