Summary of article contents:
Aortic stenosis (AS) is one of the heart's most common and severe valve diseases. Narrowing of the valve more commonly develops during aging. It influences genetic factors, hormones, lipid infiltration, inflammation, and calcification on valves, resulting in a restricted amount of blood flow through the valve. Patients of AS become prostrated and suffer from breathlessness, angina, syncope, palpitations, heart murmur, and other symptoms depending on their severity grade. It is a burning health issue, with more than one million new cases per year in India. Yet, there is no solace for AS in the contemporary medicinal system, and surgery has many more limitations in older adults. Timetrusted Ayurveda treatment modalities are merited in senior management by trimming down degenerative processes and enhancing the quality of health. Presenting a geriatric, severe AS case report, who otherwise was suggested to undergo valve replacement surgery, was treated with oral medications of Hrudroga chikitsa, which significantly improved the functional ability of the heart and quality of life. Keywords: Hrudroga chikitsa , Valvular heart disease, Aortic stenosis
