Abstract

Ischemic heart disease (IHD), a form of coronary artery disease(CAD), is one of the many cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) whose prevalence has reached epidemic proportions. The initial symptom of coronary artery disease is the development of atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries. The greatest pharmaceutical strategy to manage atherosclerosis, however, still does not seem to appear to have widespread acceptance. Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, and its incidence is rapidly accelerating in developing nations. Patients In Coronary Artery Disease, the etiology is generally discussed in terms of “risk factors”; where risk factor is an attribute or exposure that is significantly associated with the development of a disease and can be modified by intervening, which reduces specific outcomes. The present case study highlights the management of CAD (hrudroga) with the help of gokshura, amalaki and haridra siddha basti along with dietary changes and ayurvedic medicinal treatment.
