Abstract
Amavata (RA), which is a systemic disease affecting mainly Koshta (gastrointestinal tract) and Sandhi (marmas-thisandhigat vyadhi), is a prevalent condition encountered in our day-to-day practice. In modern science, Aamvat can be correlated with Rheumatoid Arthritis. The association between RA and heart disease has been studied extensively, and the results are concerning. Patients with RA have an average risk of heart disease that is almost 50 percent higher than the general population. Changes in the occurrence/ outcome of Amavata due to Geo-graphical differences must be considered. According to our observation, Aamvat prevalence in the coastal popu-lation was exceptionally higher than in any other region. Inadequate access to healthcare services and limited health knowledge in remote coastal locations are associated with a higher burden of such chronic diseases. This Review article focuses on the need to understand and assess the risk of Hridroga (CVD) in Amavata vyadhi (RA) among the Coastal population so that we can help them lower the incidences of this vyadhi and its Updra-vas (complications).
