All over the world, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) account for the foremost cause of mortality. Regardless of developing and non-developing countries CVDs cause a greater burden of disease. Unani scholars gave the utmost important to every facet of the treatment of Amraz e Qalb.

The study is aimed at compiling those effective regimes paying particular attention to the drugs that have shown potent cardioprotective activity. Authentic Unani text books, and pharmacopoeias were reviewed to get information on Amraz e Qalb and its management. A search of scientific journals and research articles was conducted to determine the cardioprotective activity of the commonly given medications. There are sufficient natural medications to adequately treat CVDs.
