Abstract: Hridroga is the most critical ailment described in Ayurveda. Vataja (cardiovascular disorder) is a form of Hridroga that can be distinguished by pathological symptoms described in Ayurveda. It manifests as ruja in urah pradesha (chest discomfort) and other signs and symptoms such as alpanidrata, shvasavrodha, darah, hrutdrava, stambha, stabadha, akasmat deenata, shoka, bhaya, shabdasehsnuta, shunyata, vepathu, and vestana. Ayurveda has a deficit in assessing disease symptoms using standard parameters. In order to diagnose a disease, it is necessary to do an assessment. Vataj Hridroga symptoms include hritshunya bhava, hrit-shosha, bheda and stambha, and moha-murccha. It is primarily due to Vata vitiation. Shaman chikitsa is the most effective treatment for Vataj Hridroga. Classical literature on Vataj Hridroga and Haritakyadi ghritapaan from Charaka Samhita was studied as a source of information. The drugs used to make Haritakyadi ghrita from Bhavaprakasa Nighantu. The literature mentions observations on nidana, samprapti, Vataj Hridroga's rupa, Haritakyadi ghritapaan, and drugs.
