Background: Considering heart as a unique organ that regulates blood flow, Ayurveda places a specific emphasis on protecting the heart from numerous conditions that might lead to the development of various heart illnesses. It emphasizes the need of avoiding stress and promoting a diet that helps in boosting heart health.
The role of Ayurveda in heart failure with low ejection fraction is discussed in this paper. Low ejection fraction, often known as low EF, occurs when your ejection fraction goes below 55%. It indicates that your heart isn't working as efficiently as it should. Heart failure is one of the major causes of early mortality associated with cardiac dysfunction. According to Ayurveda, all causes of Heart Dysfunction arise from the dysfunction of the rasadhatvagni, one of the causes of poor quality rasadhatu that aggravates heart disease when it is absorbed into the heart.
Case Presentation: In this case report, the 26-year-old female patient default rasadhatu caused heart failure with a low ejection fraction, which was treated using polyherbs and panchkarma in Ayurveda to improve heart function (low ejection fraction). Polyherbs are utilized to regulate systolic and diastolic dysfunction of heart.
Results: In the present case, default rasadhatu was reported cause of heart failure with low ejection fraction. In Ayurveda above discussed polyherbs and panchkarma treatment can correct heart function i.e. low ejection fraction.
Conclusion: The Ayurvedic system of medicine thus proves itself to be an established one with significant scientific foundations and therapies that can be practiced alone or alongside conventional medicine.
