Similarly the five presentations of heart diseases have also been mentioned in this chapter that resemble different manifestations of chest pain and could be in the form of angina, pain associated with myocardial infarction and dissecting aortic aneurysm, pericarditis, oesophageal spasm, or musculo skeletal chest pain. The clinical picture of cardiac disorders is quite similar to the features of ''hridroga'' mentioned in [[Charaka Samhita]], such as choking or constriction, squeezing, crushing, burning or aching chest pain, or a feeling of sharp, tearing or stabbing chest pain that is usually felt retrosternally and may radiate to the left arm or more rarely to the right arm and then to the throat, jaws and teeth, or through the back. In addition to the individual features of five types of ''hridaroga'', in [[Chikitsa Sthana]], the general sign and symptoms of  ''hridroga'' such as  discolouration, syncope, fever, cough, hiccups, dyspnoea, vomiting, water brash, chest discomfort, indigestion or distaste of mouth are also mentioned (Ca Ch 26/78). These are  mentioned as common symptoms of heart disease in medicine books.

Carbuncles are common complications occurring in uncontrolled diabetes patients where the infection spreads extensively in the dermal and underlying soft tissue. This presents itself as a  complex localized abscess or as several separate abscesses with multiple discharge sinuses usually caused due to staphylococcus aureus infection.

Thus, this chapter is very important as it deals with the disorders of three vital parts of the body (''trimarma''). It also describes very important aspects of pathogenesis caused due to combinations of vitiated dosha viz. samsarga and sannipata. The description of ojas is a unique concept of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda Ayurveda].
