Ayurvedic Perspective

Ayurveda considers heart block as a result of imbalance in the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and the seven dhatus (tissues). The condition is believed to be caused by:

1. Kapha accumulation: Excess Kapha dosha can lead to the formation of plaque and blockages in the coronary arteries.
2. Ama formation: Poor digestion and metabolism can lead to the formation of ama (toxins), which can accumulate in the blood vessels and cause blockages.
3. Vata imbalance: An imbalance of Vata dosha can lead to stress, anxiety, and other emotional factors that can contribute to heart block.
