Abstract
Kabhatika Hridroga (valvular heart disease) embodies a significant part of cardiovascular disease. Thereare many causes for valvular heart disease of which, the rheumatic fever is an important one. This studyis a case report of a patient awaiting mitral valve transplant for valvular heart disease (i.e., mitral stenosisattributed to rheumatic fever), who responded well to Ayurvedic management. After 11 months oftreatment, 3D cardiovascular cartography showed increase in mitral valve area from 1.3 sq cm to 3.52 sqcm (normal size is 4e6 sq cm). The present case report showed that Ayurveda has a great potential forthe treatment of valvular heart disease and merits further research.© 2018 Transdisciplinary University, Bangalore and World Ayurveda Foundation.
