Information For Doctors

Introduction:

Angina pectoris:

Angina pectoris, or just angina, is temporary chest pain or discomfort caused by decreased blood flow to the heart muscle. Because of the decreased flow of blood, there is not enough oxygen to the heart muscle resulting in chest pain.

Causes:

Angina, which is also known as angina pectoris, occurs when the flow of blood through the coronary arteries to the heart muscle is insufficient to meet the heart’s oxygen demands, such as during physical activity.

Coronary heart disease is the most common cause of reduced blood flow to the heart in people with angina. Coronary heart disease is the build-up of fatty deposits on the inside of the coronary arteries causing them to become narrow and restricting the amount of blood flowing to the heart muscle.

There are two main types of angina:

• Stable angina.
• Unstable angina.

Stable angina, the most common type, develops during physical activity and usually lasts a short time (approximately five minutes or less) if the physical activity has ended.

Unstable angina, is less common and usually occurs during periods of rest. Unstable angina usually lasts longer and symptoms may be more severe.

Symptoms:

Symptoms of angina include,

• Chest pain or discomfort.
• Pain or discomfort in the arms, neck, jaw, shoulder or back.
• Pain similar to indigestion or heartburn.
• Shortness of breath and Tiredness.
• Nausea, Sweating, and Dizziness.

Masood’s HR 44 improves blood circulation and strengthens heart and arteries. It increases the force of myocardial contraction, improves coronary and peripheral circulation.

Pharmacology:

HR 44 acts as cardio tonic as it produce positive ionotropic activity, so protects your heart. It also Acts as hypotensive, Regulates blood pressure and keeps hypertensive patients calm. It produces anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting prostaglandins showing significant analgesic effect. HR 44 is Useful in treating the symptoms angina, blocked arteries and arrhythmias.  HR 44 contains T. Arjuna which produces dose-dependent hypotension and decrease in heart rate and was attributed to principles of the extract acting centrally. Compounds in it acts peripherally through adrenergic ß2-receptor agonist mechanism and/or by direct action on the cardiac muscle.  HR 44 has beneficial effects in congestive heart failure.  HR 44 contains Hawthorn which increases cyclic AMP (adenosine monophosphate) in the Myocardium (heart muscle) due to its effects on inhibiting the enzyme phosphodiesterase, which breaks down cyclic AMP (cAMP). The oral administration of Hawthorn extracts results in higher myocardial concentrations of cAMP in patients suffering from various cardiomyopathies (heart conditions).  HR 44 also Inhibits Angiotensin – Converting Enzyme (acting as an ACE inhibitor) – by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme, it reduces the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, which is a potent constrictor of blood vessels and stimulates adrenal production of aldosterone. So HR 44 as ACE inhibitor, has been shown to exert a blood pressure lowering effect.
