Heart Disease

The human heart is a marvel of nature that is sensitive to physical and emotional wellness. In recent times, a significant rise has also been observed among young adults. High consumption of cholesterol, leading a sedentary life, stress, anxiety and smoking are some of the common causes which leads to the deposition of toxins (ama) in the arteries. Untreated heart diseases may need surgery to prevent severe health complications.

Ischemic heart diseases (IHD) are common among middle-aged people but are becoming increasingly common in younger age groups too. Atherosclerosis i.e. thickening of artery walls serves as the main cause of IHD though arterial spasms too can cause IHD. Syphilitic aortitis, coronary embolism, and congenital anomalies of the coronary artery also can cause IHD. Poor diet, high intake of cholesterol, fat, and sucrose, hypertension and cigarette smoking are some of the other known causes.
