Abstract
A potential new therapy and preventative option for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is the use of natural ingredients.CVDs are a broad category of disorders that impact the heart and blood vessels, causing a substantial amount of morbidity and mortality on a global scale.The pathophysiology of CVD is examined in this article, with emphasis placed on important aspects like genetic mutations, atherosclerosis, and lifestyle choices that cause cardiac abnormalities.These flaws may affect blood flow and heart function, potentially leading to insufficient oxygen and nutrient delivery to critical organs.This study examines the diverse range of bioactive substances with cardioprotective properties that are extracted from plants, herbs, and other natural sources.Antioxidant effects, anti-inflammatory activity, lipid profile modification, and enhanced endothelial function are some of the main mechanisms of action.Specific substances emphasized for their roles in lowering hypertension, atherosclerosis, and myocardial ischemia include flavonoids, polyphenols, and omega-3 fatty acids.The articleemphasizes the significance of natural products in comprehensive cardiovascular care and explores how they can complement traditional therapies.We can improve methods for treating and preventing CVD by understanding the therapeutic potential of these natural chemicals.
