Hṛdgada (हृद्गद) refers to “heart-disease”, mentioned in verse 4.2 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “by the stoppage of the downward wind (are caused) visceral induration, secretory stasis, pain, weariness, retention of wind, urine, and feces, impairment of vision and digestion, and heart-disease [viz., hṛdgada]”.

Hṛdgada (“heart-disease”) is also mentioned in verse 4.11-12.—Accordingly, “[...] Xerostomia, flaccidity of limbs, deafness, stupor, giddiness, and heart-disease [viz., hṛdgada] (result) from the restraint of thirst. In this ease every cold application (is) wholesome. Racking in the limbs, anorexia, lassitude, emaciation, stitches, and giddiness (result from the restraint) of hunger. In this case light, fat, warm, and little food (is) to be taken. [...]”.
