Why the study?
Coronary heart disease is a major global health problem, and a reference summarizing the therapeutic mechanisms of ginseng is needed to support its clinical development and application as an alternative therapy.
What are the therapeutic mechanisms by which ginseng alleviates coronary heart disease?
What are the therapeutic mechanisms by which ginseng alleviates coronary heart disease?
Ginseng may serve as a potential alternative therapy for coronary heart disease by improving cardiac function and reducing oxidative stress and lipid dysregulation.
Ginseng may warrant consideration as adjunctive therapy in CHD; leaves open the need for prospective RCTs to confirm efficacy and safety.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common clinical manifestation of cardiovascular disease. It is characterized by myocardial ischemia, which is caused by coronary atherosclerosis. CHD is a significant global health problem with increasing prevalence every year because of significant changes in the lifestyles and diets. Ginseng is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb that has been used in food preparations and traditional medicine for several centuries. Several studies have demonstrated that ginseng improved cardiac function by normalizing blood glucose levels and decreasing blood pressure, oxidative stress, platelet aggregation, and lipid dysregulation in vivo . This review describes the current understanding of the mechanisms by which ginseng alleviates CHD, and provides a reference for the clinical development and application of ginseng as an alternative therapy for CHD.
