Cardiac arrhythmias are a group of condition in which the heartbeat is very fast, slow or irregular. Cardiac arrythmias are common. Symptoms include dizziness, palpitations, syncope as frequent complaints. Sudden cardiac death rates are more than 6000,000 per year. There are many types of cardiac arrhythmias in which premature ventricular complexes are seen common. These are ectopic impulses originating from an area distal to the His purkinjesystem. Long standing obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemias ultimately leads to cardiac arrythmias. In modern science, medications such as anti-hypertensives, anti-lipidemics, anti arrythmics are given. Patient gets symptomatic relief from medications. According to Ayurveda, cardiac arrythmias falls under the catagories of hrudhroga (heart disease). Vitiated Vatadosha is responsible to cause irregular heart beat. Aggravated pitta dosha increases the heart beat and imbalanced kaphadosha result in slow heart beat. Hrudyaaushadhis such as Prabhakarvati, hrudayarnav rasa describe for hrudroga (heart disease) are basically cardio protective and helps to strength the heart muscle in natural way, though herbs take time to show their significant effect. But they resolve the ailment from the root. On this basis a case study has been done with herbal interventions with ongoing modern medications on a single patient and got significant improvement which was not there when the patient was only on allopathic medications.
