Background:
H-type hypertension is a kind of cardiovascular disease that threatens human life and health seriously. Banxia Baizhu Tianma Tang (BBTT) has been used widely for H-type hypertension while its effective evidence is not clear. Hence, we provide a systematic review protocol to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BBTT in the treatment of H-type hypertension.
Methods:
Nine databases including Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, WOS, Medline, CNKI, WangFang, CBM, and VIP will be searched from their inception to October 2019. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of BBTT for H-type hypertension will be included. The language is limited to Chinese and English. The primary outcome measure will be the major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE). The entire process will include study selection, data extraction, assessment of bias risk, data synthesis. Data analysis will be performed using RevMan V.5.3.5 (The Cochrane Collaboration, Oxford, UK).
Results:
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of BBTT in the treatment of H-type hypertension from several aspects, including MACCE, blood pressure (BP), blood lipids, inflammation indicators and homocysteine (Hcy).
Conclusion:
This systematic review will provide evidence for determining whether or not BBTT is an effective and safe intervention for H-type hypertension.

Blood Pressure
The average BP in an adult is typically around 120/80 mmHg (millimeters of mercury). In this measurement, the numerator (120) indicates the systolic pressure, which is the pressure in the arteries during the contraction of the heart's ventricles as blood is expelled. The denominator (80) represents the...
