Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs continue to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, prompting the search for effective, safe, and complementary therapeutic strategies. Traditional medicinal systems, particularly Ayurveda, offer a wealth of herbal remedies that have been used for the prevention, management, and treatment of cardiovascular disorders. Medicinal plants such as Terminalia arjuna, garlic, cinnamon, guggul, hawthorn, and ginger have demonstrated significant cardioprotective potential, attributed to their diverse bioactive constituents. These plants exert beneficial effects through multiple mechanisms, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic, and lipid-lowering activities. This review comprehensively evaluates the role of medicinal plants in cardiovascular health, highlighting their pharmacological mechanisms, therapeutic efficacy, and relevance as adjuncts or alternatives to conventional pharmacotherapy. Furthermore, the integration of traditional knowledge with modern scientific research is emphasized, underscoring the need for rigorous phytochemical investigations and well-designed preclinical and clinical studies to establish efficacy, safety, and toxicity profiles. Overall, this review underscores the potential of medicinal plants as part of a holistic and integrative approach to cardiovascular disease management and the development of novel cardiotherapeutic agents
