Heart Diseases
What is heart disease?
Heart disease includes any problem that keeps your heart from pumping blood as well as it should. The problem might start in your blood vessels or your heart.
Heart and blood vessel problems include
> The build-up of a substance called plaque in the walls of the blood vessels
> A blood clot that blocks the flow of blood to the heart
> Heart attack—heart damage caused by a lack of blood and oxygen to the heart
Symptoms of Heart Disease:
Signs and symptoms can include:
> Chest pain, chest tightness, chest pressure and chest discomfort (angina)
> Shortness of breath
> Pain, numbness, weakness or coldness in your legs or arms if the blood vessels in those parts of your body are narrowed
> Pain in the neck, jaw, throat, upper abdomen or back.
Herbs:
AMLA: Improves arterial wall, thereby prevent atherosclerosis.
BAHEDA: Potential source of antioxidants and can be used in the therapy of diseases like ageing and any other disease related to oxidative stress
JETHIMADH: Prevents the accumulation of plaque in the arteries and provides healthy functioning of the heart.
TUMERIC: Anti-inflammatory action benefits in heart health and prevention of various heart diseases such as myocarditis, cardiac fibrosis, atherosclerosis etc.

Risk factors:
Risk factors for developing heart disease include:
> Age: Growing older increases your risk of damaged and narrowed arteries and a weakened or thickened heart muscle.
> Sex: Men are generally at greater risk of heart disease. The risk for women increases after menopause.
> Family history: A family history of heart disease increases your risk of coronary artery disease, especially if a parent developed it at an early age (before age 55 for a male relative, such as your brother or father, and 65 for a female relative, such as your mother or sister).
> Smoking: Nicotine tightens your blood vessels, and carbon monoxide can damage their inner lining, making them more susceptible to atherosclerosis. Heart attacks are more common in smokers than in nonsmokers.
> High blood pressure: Uncontrolled high blood pressure can result in hardening and thickening of your arteries, narrowing the vessels through which blood flows.
> High blood cholesterol levels: High levels of cholesterol in your blood can increase the risk of plaque formation and atherosclerosis.
