This book provides a comprehensive overview of plants and plant-derived phytochemicals in the management of cardiovascular diseases. It presents the cardioprotective potential of plants and phytochemicals, covering various preclinical models, assays, and clinical research protocols of plant medicine for cardioprotection. Chapters cover the role of plants and phytochemicals in prevention and cure of atherosclerosis, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia, cardiotoxicity and the underlying pharmacological, molecular, biochemical, and immunobiological mechanisms. The book also includes toxicological aspects (safety evaluations), meta-analysis of clinical trials, critical assessments, drawbacks and challenges for adopting phytomedical approaches in evidence-based medicine for the treatment of CVDs. Screening methods and plant foods for cardioprotection are also covered.

The book will be a reference for all researchers working on the role of plant-based products on cardiovascular systems and on cardioprotective agents of plant origin. It will be useful for students, researchers, physicians, nurses, industrial scientists, nutritionists, pharmacists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, botanists, and traditional medicine practitioners. In particular, researchers working on heart problems, diseases, toxicity, physicians treating patients with heart problems, hospitals, pharmacy institutions, pharmacy students and researchers, ethnobotanists, and people working in traditional medicine will find this book useful.
