Phytomedicine in the Integrated Care of Angina Pectoris

Abstract

Its most frequent clinical manifestation is angina pectoris, a condition normally caused by reduced coronary blood supply via stenosed or diseased coronary arteries. A good predictor of more hazardous types of cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction, is the condition. Food deprivation, exposure to cold, exercise, and mental stress are normal causes of angina. Sublingual nitrates typically alleviate the characteristic pain, often described as a burning or pressure sensation in the chest, which may radiate to the left arm or jaw.. Angina pectoris is brought about by several risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, excessive alcohol or salt intake, male gender, and advancing age. Myocardial infarction, pericarditis, and musculoskeletal diseases are some of the differential diagnoses. Fruits and vegetables rich in polyphenols are increasingly recognized for their cardiovascular benefits; however, aspirin remains a well-established therapy due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Herbal therapies with cardioprotective and vasodilatory effects are also gaining popularity as alternatives or complements to conventional treatments. The combination of these herbal remedies may offer a potentially safer and more comprehensive approach to the management of angina and overall cardiovascular health..
