CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE AND ITS AYURVEDIC TREATMENT

Coronary arteries are the arteries which supply oxygen rich blood to heart. Sometimes plaque buildup in them limits the blood flow due to narrowing or blockage caused by plaque buildup. This is known as coronary artery disease (CAD) or coronary heart disease or ischemic heart disease.

There are two main forms of coronary artery disease:

  • Stable ischemic heart disease: It’s a chronic form where coronary arteries gradually narrow down over many years. Gradually heart receives less oxygen rich blood and symptoms are felt on day to day basis.
  • Acute coronary syndrome: It is sudden onset and a medical emergency. The plaque in coronary artery suddenly ruptures and forms a clot of blood which further ruptures  and block the blood flow to the heart and the abruptness of it causes heart attack.

SYMPTOMS OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE

CAD is a chronic condition where there is plaque buildup for years but, as the arteries narrow the symptoms are more evident.

Symptoms of chronic CAD include:

  • Stable angina- It’s the most common symptom and is a temporary chest pain or discomfort which comes and goes irregularly. it gets relived after nitroglycerin.
  • Shortness of breath- Some people feel shortness of breath during after some light physical activity.

Sometimes the first symptom is a heart attack and it’s symptoms are:-

  • Angina which may vary from mild to severe and may spread to shoulder, arm, neck, back or jaw.
  • Trouble while breathing
  • Lightheadedness or dizzy feeling
  • Heart palpitations
  • Feeling of tiredness
  • Nausea, stomach discomfort or vomiting.
  • Weakness

CAUSES OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE

The reason for coronary artery disease is arthrosclerosis. It is a slow process of building up of plaque in the arteries of your body. When the plaque effects the arteries and causes narrowing you start  developing coronary artery disease.

Plaque is consisting of cholesterol, certain waste products, calcium and fibrin which helps in helping the blood clot. As the time passes and plaque keeps on collecting in the arteries they become narrow and stiff.

It clogs the arteries and also causes major damage to the tissue limiting or even stopping the blood flow to the affected part. When plaque builds up in the coronary arteries heart muscles don’t receive enough oxygenated blood which doesn’t empower the heart to work properly. It creates a medical condition known as ischemia which leads to chest pain or discomfort known as angina. This eventually gives rise to the risk of heart attack which is a very high risk cardiac event.

People who have plaque buildup in their coronary arteries often have buildup elsewhere in their body, too. This can lead to conditions like carotid artery disease and peripheral artery disease.

 

HOW AYURVED HELPS IN CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE

Heart disease is comparable to Hrid roga in Ayurveda. Doshas get vitiated in the body as a result of exposure to risk factors including eating food that is hot or sour potency, injuries, over thinking, panic or fear, etc. Rasa dhatu, which enters the heart and contributes to the condition’s growth, becomes contaminated by the vitiated doshas.

ASCITES

ASCITES AND ITS AYURVEDIC TREATMENT

Ascites is a problem in which fluid accumulates in the abdomen. Water accumulates in the empty space in the stomach. If there is a lot of fluid or water accumulated in the stomach, then this condition can become painful and due to this the patient may have to face problems in walking and getting up. This problem mainly occurs when the liver fails or stops working. Ascites is diagnosed when more than 25 milliliters (mL) of fluid accumulates inside the abdomen.

The problem of accumulation of water in the stomach ascites i.e. ascites is divided into two types. Following are the two types of ascites:-

Both types of ascites are classified on the basis of the amount of protein found in the fluid. This protein liquid i.e. albumin is found in the organ affected by ascites, it is compared to the albumin found in the rest of the body i.e. blood. Albumin refers to the simple form of protein that dissolves in water and is softened by heat. Apart from this, on the basis of some underlying causes, the problem of ascites can also be divided into a few different categories.
There are following types of ascites on the basis of different categories:-

  • Haptic ascites – This type of ascites occurs due to liver cirrhosis and other liver related problems.
  • Cardiogenic ascites – This type of ascites occurs due to cardiac problems, in which the problem of heart attack is the most important factor.

Cirrhotic ascites develops when the blood pressure in the portal vein, the blood vessel that carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver, becomes too high. As the pressure rises, kidney function deteriorates and fluid accumulates in the abdomen.
  • As the liver struggles to manage this fluid, it is forced into the abdominal cavity, resulting in ascites. Some cancers can also cause ascites. In peritoneal cancer, tumor cells in the peritoneum produce a proteinaceous fluid, which can become ascites.
  • If you have heart or kidney failure, the amount of blood in your arteries may drop. This triggers changes in various body systems that cause constriction of the kidney’s blood vessels and sodium and water retention. These, too, can cause ascites.
