Hridroga is a disease of marma (vital organ), which is the seat of many vital activities. Hridroga is among those diseases mentioned in Ayurveda where in the description are quite brief and the Ayurvedic view point needs clarification. In view of the increasing evidence of cardiac disorders in the present times this aspect assumes added importance. In the presence of limited available literature which is too scattered and highly diffuse, the Ayurvedic concept of Hridroga needs to be analyzed critically to verify whether it stands the test of times. The present review article encompasses the concept of hridroga (heart diseases) in Ayurveda i.e., understanding the term hridroga in Ayurveda; along with its bheda (classification), nidan (etiology) and samprapti (pathogenesis) with modern insights where ever relevance is there.
