In Hinduism

Ayurveda (science of life)

Kalpa (Formulas, Drug prescriptions and other Medicinal preparations)

Hṛdroga (हृद्रोग) refers to “disease of heart” and is one of the various diseases mentioned in the 15th-century Yogasārasaṅgraha (Yogasara-saṅgraha) by Vāsudeva: an unpublished Keralite work representing an Ayurvedic compendium of medicinal recipes. The Yogasārasaṃgraha [mentioning hṛdroga] deals with entire recipes in the route of administration, and thus deals with the knowledge of pharmacy (bhaiṣajya-kalpanā) which is a branch of pharmacology (dravyaguṇa).

Rasashastra (Alchemy and Herbo-Mineral preparations)

Hṛdroga (हृद्रोग) refers to “heart-diseases” according to the fifth volume of the Rasajalanidhi (chapter 6). Accordingly, “Heart-diseases (hridroga) are due to (a) eating or drinking in excess of articles which are very hot, or heavy or hitter or astringent in taste, (b) hard labour; (c) physical shock, especially received in the region of the heart; (d) taking a fresh meal before the preceding one is digested; (e) worries and mental strain; (f) and suppression of calls of nature”.

Heart-diseases (hridroga) may be due to any one of the following causes, and are, therefore, of five different kinds:—(a) abnormal excess of vayu, (b) ditto of pitta (c) ditto of kapha, (d) ditto of the three combined, and (e) worms.—In all of these diseases, the chyle is vitiated by any one or all of the three doshas and give rise to troubles in the heart (hridroga).

Hṛdroga (हृद्रोग) refers to “cardiac disorder” and is caused by excessive intake of heavy, astringent, bitter and hot food, over-eating, exertion, psychic factors (worry, anxiety, anger etc.) and suppression of urges. Doṣas aggravated thus vitiate the rasa and being situated in heart produce the disease having symptoms according to predominance of vāta etc.

1) Hṛdroga (हृद्रोग) refers to “heart-disease”, mentioned in verse 4.15-16 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] Visceral induration, heart-disease [viz., hṛdroga], and stupor (result) from suppressed panting with fatigue. In this case relaxation (is) wholesome and the wind-destroying method of treatment”.

Note: The dvandva compound gulmahṛdrogasaṃmoha—“visceral induration, heartdisease, and stupor” has been represented somewhat incongruously by skran daṅ sñiṅ nad myos-par ’gyur, lit. “one gets sick with visceral induration and in the heart (as well as) stuporous”. Were it not for the terminative myos-par, one would rather translate: “visceral induration, heart-disease, (and) stupor are caused”.

2) Hṛdroga (हृद्रोग) can also refer to “diseases of the stomach”, as mentioned in verse 5.8-9.—Accordingly, “[...] (Those) [rivers, viz., nadī] springing from the Himavat and the Malaya, which hold water retarded by its bounding against rocks and its (consequent) dashing down and bursting asunder, (are) salutary; those, however, (which are) stagnant produce worms, elephantiasis, and diseases of the stomach [viz., hṛdroga], throat, and head; [...]”.
