Monika Gupta, Gopikrishna S

Abstract


Vataja Hridroga is a type of Hridroga (cardiovascular disease) that can be clearly differentiated based on pathognomic symptoms as mentioned in Ayurveda. It manifests with cardinal feature of Ruja in Urah pradesha (pain in the chest region) associated with other sign and symptoms Alpanidrata, Shvasavrodha, Darah, Hrutdrava, Stambha, Stabadha, Akasmat Deenata, Shoka, Bhaya,  Shabdasehshnuta, Shunyata, Vepathu and Vestana. There is lacuna in Ayurveda to assess the symptoms of disease with standard parameter. Assessment is essential for diagnosis of disease. In the present article, study has been carried out to make a classical diagnostic frame of Vataja Hridroga by preliminary approach of grading system. Based on appropriate meaning of Lakshanas (signs and symptoms) enunciated in classical texts the grading was prepared and literary resources were analyzed in this study.
