Abstract:
Heart diseases occur due to insufficient and improper oxygen and nutrient supply to the heart muscles by coronary arteries. There are various heart diseases in which heart muscles do not work properly so leads to haridya (heart) shaithilya(exhaustion) further leads to improper working of heart muscles. In case of dilated cadiomyopathy, heart chambers become dilated as a result of muscular weakness. Due to this, proper pumping of blood is not possible. When coronary arteries do not work due to deposition of cholesterol then left ventricle is affected. If there is blood coagulation in coronary arteries, myocardial infarction occurs caused by damage to the heart muscles. In some cases heart muscles become too stiff or too weak to fill and pump properly. Due to valves weakness heart also become weak. All these factors and causative agents leads to improper working of heart muscles so leads to heart exhaustion. Pippali (Piper longum) both small and long contains Piperine which inhibit elevation of total serum cholesterol and total cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol ratio. Here is an effort to describe importance of Pippali for healthy heart muscle functioning.
