Essentials of Cardiac Physiology – An Ayurved Aspect
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Abstract: Heart (Hridaya) has its own significance in biomedical sciences due to its important function of circulation. Ayurveda and western medicinal science have a remarkable difference in understanding the concept of circulation. Where Ayurveda believes it is circulation of the first two dhatus – Rasa and Rakta, thus the term originates – Rasa-Rakta Samvahana; whereas modern science accepts the circulation of a reddish colored, viscous liquid connective tissue with its formed elements – Blood. Functioning of Hridaya is well coordinated mutually between the efficient working of Tridosha supplying nutrient media to dhatus for proper growth and development of the body. The contraction and relaxation movements of Heart, other properties like auto-rhythmicity can be justified using the Ayurvedic physiological aspects. Efforts for the same are done and highlighted in this study.
