Mini V G, Murali K

Abstract :

Congenital heart disease (CHD) includes a variety of structural and functional malformations of the heart and blood vessels present since birth. It is the most frequent form of congenital birth defect and estimated a prevalence of 9/1000 live births. Here is a single case study of 17 year old female patient, presented with shortness of eath, extreme tiredness, bluish discoloration of lips, tongue and finger tips. Diagnosis of complex congenital cyanotic heart disease was already done by echocardiographic evaluation and chest x–ray. The patient underwent the only possible palliative measure i.e. blalock–thomas–taussigs shunt and unfortunately failed due to pulmonary hypertension. As per the principles of Ayurveda, development of foetus depends on the excellence of sperm, ovum, uterus and timings of sexual union. The inherent defects present in this case can be included under sahaja hridroga. Ayurvedic formulations having deepana, pachana and rasayana properties were given and clinically assessed by using NYHA functional classification. Ayurvedic approach in a single case of CHD is useful to improve the health related quality of life (HQoL) and prevent complications by correcting inherent agnimandhya at dhatu and koshta level.
