Brief Summary  

Prevalence of LVH increases with severity of hypertensive disease. Approximately one third to half of hypertensive patients have LVH. The prevalence of LVH ranges from 5% in patients undergoing angiography to as much as 44% in patients with hypertension.

Anti hypertensive drugs such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, ARB’s , β-blockers etc. are effective in attenuating the LVH and heart failure. However, in recent years, researchers have shown considerable interest in treating diseases with medicinal plants because of their low toxicity and potential pharmacological properties. Medicinal plants have been used in the Indian system of medicine to treat various diseases, including infectious and non-infectious ones.

Desmodiumgangeticum (Fabaceae family) is a small medicinal shrub abundantly found in tropical countries such as India, China, Africa, and Australia (Kurian et al., 2010). The root portion of this plant is used as the main ingredient in famous ayurvedic preparations such as “Dashmoola. This medicinal herb is used to treat various ailments such as digestive, inflammatory, and cardiovascular disorders. Moreover, invitro studies have shown that DG root extracts possess strong antioxidant, anti-hypertrophic, and anti-inflammatory activities (Sankar et al., 2013). Hence, the present study was designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of “AnshumatiKsheerPaka” in Hypertension induced Left Ventricular hypertrophy, as add on therapy to Standard care.
