Abstract :

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of deaths worldwide. Any disease which affects the cardio-vascular system or which involve the heart, the blood vessels or both is called as cardiovascular disease. The factors like age, gender, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, tobacco smoking, processed meat consumption, sugar consumption, obesity, psychosocial factors, lack of physical activity, air pollution etc lead to cardiovascular diseases. Many treatment modalities have been explained in Brihatrayi (Charaka, Sushruta, Vagbhata) and Laghutrayi (Bhavaprakash and Madhav Nidan). Bhavamishra mentions numerous drugs acting on cardiac disorders in his book Bhavaprakash Nighantu. The present study is designed to screen the drugs with hrudya, hrudamaya hara, hrudaya shodhana, hrudaya nashaka, hrudruja hara, hrudpida hara and hrudroga hara properties. Out of 426 drugs 81 were described for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases throughout the text which includes herbal, mineral and animal origin drugs.
