In recent years

coronary heart disease has become a significant threat to the health of Chinese people with its continuously increasing incidence rate. Research has shown that transforming growth factor-β（TGF-β）plays a crucial role in the development and progression of coronary heart disease. It mainly regulates cell growth

promotes tissue fibrosis

and inhibits inflammation. In addition

a large number of drugs for the treatment of coronary heart disease are related to TGF-β. This article reviews the relationship between TGF-β and coronary heart disease as well as its therapeutic drugs（including Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine） in recent years

and provides a reference and basis for traditional Chinese and Western medical workers to treat and study this disease.
