Five types of Hrudyaroga have been described in Ayurveda in Madhav Nidana and Hansraj Nidana.[1] out of which the description of Vatika Hrudyaroga is clearly in accordance with that of Ischemic Heart Disease, combined with symptomatology of Vatika Sotha and Swasa give a vague picture of congestive Heart Failure. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. An estimated 17.9 million people died from CVDs in 2019, representing 32% of all global deaths.
