Abstract:
Cardiovascular diseases is currently one of the most important health issues. Chest pain is one of the most common disorders due to cardiovascular diseases that can be
a warning sign for myocardial infarction. Chest pain can be due to heart and otherwise
diseases. Bioactive compounds or medicinal herbs are a rich source of antioxidant
compounds, biologically active ingredients, phenols, and other substances that inhibit
oxidative stress and reduce free radicals through certain mechanisms, and therefore
prevent cardiovascular diseases and reduce chest pains. Medicinal plants play the
role of the traditional medicine in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular
diseases and other disorders affecting myocardial and vascular tissues. Based on
the results obtained from the review of numerous articles indexed in the databases
ISI, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, etc, a number of plants have been reported to
be used for the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases and chest pain
due to cardiac disease, including Curcuma longa, Sophora flavescens, Calendula
officinalis, Carthamus tinctorius, Tripterygium wilfordi, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Ampelopsis
grossedentata, Pseudotsuga menziesii, Vitis vinifera, Styphnolobium japonicum, Allium
sativum. Pharmacological studies have also investigated the therapeutic effects of
medicinal herbs, and also their clinical effects and the use of their active ingredients
in the production of useful natural drugs. The results of phytochemical investigations
on these plants have shown that the most important compounds of the plants include
flavonoids,phenolics, Alkaloids, flavonoids and phenolics, saponin and other bioactive
compounds can be anti-chest pain hrugs. Due to main active ingredients and flavonoids
of these plants, they can be used to produce natural drugs that reduce cardiovascular
diseases and thus chest pain due to cardiac diseases, and therefore relieve the suffering
of patients. The purpose of this study was to identify and report medicinal plants with
potential for anti-chest pain.
