Description
Hrudya – Cardio protective: Terminalia arjuna, commonly known as Arjuna in ayurveda. Its bark decoction is being used in the Indian subcontinent for anginal pain, hypertension, congestive heart failure, and dyslipidemia, based on the observations of ancient physicians for centuries.
Effect of Terminalia arjuna on angina pectoris, congestive heart failure and left ventricular mass was studied in patients of myocardial infarction with angina and/or ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Bark stem powder of T. arjuna, was administered patients of postmyocardial infarction angina and patients of ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Patients were also on conventional treatment comprising of nitrates, aspirin and/or calcium channel blockers. Significant reduction in anginal frequency was noted .However, patients showed significant improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction and reduction in left ventricular mass on echocardiography following three months of therapy. Patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy showed significant symptomatic relief in coronary heart failure .Prolonged administration of T. arjuna did not show any adverse effects on renal, hepatic and haematological parameters.
Punarnava(Boerhavia diffusa)- possesses significant antihypertensive properties that help keep high blood pressure in check.
