Cardiac problems arise mainly due to improper diet and stressful
life styles. " These lead to thickening of arteries (dhamani
praticaya) or hardening of arteries (dhamani kathinaya) resulting
in angio-obstruction (vata dosa) and angina (ruja). "
High blood pressure that hammers the arterial walls roughens
them and causes the arterial wall to thicken. fatty cholesterol
particles get deposited under the inner lining of the arteries
(i.e. atherosclerosis). The higher the pressure more the deposits
will occur. Subsequently these deposits become calcified due
to fibrous growth and involved arteries lose their elasticity.
