Ischemic Heart Disease – Herbal Remedies and Ayurvedic Treatment

August 9, 2020

0 Comment(s)

Heart is the most important organ in our body as it pumps blood & provides oxygen. Ischemic heart disease is also known as coronary artery or coronary artery disease that creates problems in the heart. It causes narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. The narrowing of the artery is caused by blood clot or constriction of the blood vessel. It can often be caused by formation of plaque known as “atherosclerosis”.

What are the signs & symptoms of Ischemic heart disease?

The signs & symptoms of Ischemic heart disease are given below in detail:

Dizziness
Angina that creates pressure, burning, squeezing, or tightness during physical activities.
Cold sweats
Nausea
Indigestion
Neck pain
General weakness
Shortness of breath
Disturbance in sleep
Fatigue
Pain in neck
Nervousness
Anxiety

Women are somewhat less likely to experience chest pain than men. Symptoms are more likely to experience:

Dizziness
Fatigue
Nausea
Pressure or tightness in the chest
Abdominal pain

What are the causes of Ischemic heart disease?

The development of atherosclerosis (plaques) in the heart muscles is the main cause of ischemic heart disease that causes the arteries to harden and accumulate cholesterol plaques on their walls. If the surface breaks or ruptures, then platelets will clump at the site to try to repair the artery and this blocks the artery which leads to a heart attack.

Ischemic heart disease causes early childhood damage or injury to the inner layer of a coronary artery. The damage may be caused by various factors which include:

Smoking
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Diabetes or insulin resistance
Sedentary lifestyle
Being overweight

There are two main causes of Ischemic heart disease that are given below in details:

Plaque buildup: When plaque is built up in the arteries it is known as atherosclerosis. It happens when the arteries become hardened and narrower reducing the blood flow to the heart. Small blood clots are formed in the small arteries.
Molecular changes are seen in the small blood vessels: The molecular changes in the small vessels of the heart are due to normal aging processes. It causes damage to the small vessels causing high blood pressure, diabetes, or chronic inflammation.

What are the types of Ischemic heart disease?

The Ischemic heart disease is mainly of three types that are mentioned below in detail:

Obstructive coronary artery disease: This disease occurs when there is formation of plaque that is formed in the large arteries causing these arteries to become narrow. It reduces the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart. The flow of blood can completely block one or more than three large coronary arteries.
Non-obstructive Coronary artery disease: In this type, the large arteries are narrowed by plaque. Less than 50% obstruction of the heart’s large arteries are caused by formation of plaque. It causes damage to the inner walls of the coronary arteries.
Coronary microvascular disease: This type affects the small arteries of the heart. It can happen alone or with obstructive or non-obstructive coronary artery disease. This heart disease most often occurs when molecular changes in the microvascular system take place.

AYURVEDIC VIEW AND TREATMENT ACCORDING TO CHANDIGARH AYURVED CENTRE

In Ayurveda, ischemic heart disease is compared with the Hridya roga. When the vata dosha gets vitiated and disturbs the rasa dhatu in the body, it results in the Hridya roga or kapha dosha causing hardening of the arteries.

Vataj Hridaroga in which the person experiences acute pain with shifting nature
Pittaja Hridaroga in which the patient has pain with the burning sensation.
Kaphaja Hridaroga in which the patient has pain which is mild in nature and is often associated with heaviness, nausea and cough.
