Ischemic heart disease, also known as coronary artery disease, is a condition that affects the blood supply to the heart. Blood vessels are constricted or blocked due to the deposition of cholesterol on their walls. Further it reduces the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle, which is essential for the proper functioning of the heart. Ultimately this can result in a sudden denial of blood supply to a part of the heart leading to the death of that area of heart tissue, resulting in a heart attack.
The major risk factors for ischemic heart disease include smoking, diabetes, and high levels of cholesterol in the blood. People with hypercholesterolemia have a very high tendency to develop the disease. Additionally, genetic and hereditary factors can also be responsible for the disease, and stress is often a risk factor as well.

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.
AYURVEDIC VIEW
In Ayurveda, ischemic heart disease is compared with the Hridyaroga. When the vatadosha gets vitiated and disturbs the rasa dhatu in the body, it results in the Hridyaroga or kaphadosha causing hardening of the arteries.
Ayurveda describes the following types of Hridyaroga:
- VatajHridaroga- In this type of Hrudroga, the person experiences acute pain with shifting nature
- PittajaHridaroga– In this type of Hrudroga, the patient has pain with the burning sensation.
- KaphajaHridaroga- In this type of Hrudroga, the patient has pain which is mild in nature and is often associated with heaviness, nausea and cough.
- TridoshajaHridaroga- In this type of Hrudroga, the patient experiences the mixed symptoms of the three doshas.
