Management of Heart Failure with Low Ejection Fraction Through Siddha Medicine – A Case Report

Abstract

Introduction: Congestive cardiac failure are one among  the  major  causes  of  death. It  is  rapidly  evolving  and  twice  as  many  deaths  from CCF now  occur  in  developing  countries.  It  also  indulge  in  economical  status  of  the society  as  it  affects  working  age  group  most  commonly

Objective: The treatment of patients with heart failure are mainly focused on the improvement of symptoms and the quality and duration of life .

Materials methods:51–year–old male, came to Kongan Siddha clinic with the complaints dyspnea shortness of breath ,cough without expectoration hiccup, dryness of mouth,oedema in the lower limbs, with no prior history of heart disease he had was adopted, was a smoking and alcoholic . His heart rate was 54per minute, he had bilateral pitting oedema, his blood pressure was 150/90mm Hg, there were no signs of jugular venous hypertension,. He was under investigation due to significant weight loss caused by progressive dysphagia. his echocardiogram showed severe global hypokinesia left ventricular dysfunction with left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) 13%, The patient, .

Result and Discussion : In this case study, the patient presented with a severely reduced ejection fraction (EF) of 13%, indicating advanced heart failure and compromised cardiac function. After undergoing three weeks of continuous Siddha medication, remarkable improvements were observed. The ejection fraction improved significantly, rising to 63%, suggesting a dramatic enhancement in the heart's ability to pump blood effectively.

Conclusion: The case underscores the potential of traditional Siddha medicine as a complementary approach in managing heart failure, particularly in patients with severely reduced ejection fractions
