The major chronic diseases prevailing in India are cardiovascular disorders (CVD), diabetes, hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia. Mortality due to cardiovascular disease is increasing substantially. In the year 1990, the mortality rate due to CVD  in India was 15.2, which increased to 28.1 in 2016.<ref>India State-Level Disease Burden Initiative CVD Collaborators.

[[Ayurveda]] can play a significant role in treating CVD as a lifestyle disorder and a non-communicable disorder.

'''Ans''': [[Prakriti]] and the involvement of [[dosha]] are very much influencing the development of cardiac disorders. Typical presentations explained for different kinds of hridroga (cardiac disorders) can be seen in patients. For eg. In vataja hridroga the pain will be severe. It may be cutting, stabbing, tearing etc., in nature. In kaphaja hridrog pain will be minimal. The other symptoms like excessive salivation, heaviness in the chest etc., are more predominant. In pittaja hridroga burning in the sternum/epigastric region is the main presenting feature. The classical treatments mentioned for these individual types of cardiac disorders give an excellent result.
