Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have become prominent in mortality and morbidity rates.\nPrevalent cardiovascular conditions, such as hypertension, atherosclerosis and oxidative stress,\nare increasing at an alarming rate. Conventional drugs have been associated with adverse effects,\nsuggesting a need for an alternative measure to ameliorate CVD. A number of plant- and herb-derived\npreventative food and therapeutic drugs for cardiovascular conditions are progressively used for\ntheir various benefits. Naturally derived food and drugs have fewer side effects because they come\nfrom natural elements; preventative food, such as grape seed, inhibits changes of histopathology and\nbiomarkers in vital organs whereas therapeutic drugs, for instance Xanthone, improve heart functions\nby suppressing oxidative stress of myocyte. This review closely examines the various plant- and\nherb-derived drugs that have assumed an essential role in treating inflammation and oxidative stress\nfor prevalent cardiovascular conditions. Furthermore, the use of plant-derived medicine with other\nsynthetic particles, such as nanoparticles, for targeted therapy is investigated for its effective clinical\nuse in the future.
