| Abstract: | Arrhythmias have accounted for significant cardiac morbidities and
mortalities over the past few decades. Although some arrhythmias may appear
benign or potentially dangerous, the major causes of sudden cardiac arrest are
direct results of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and/or ventricular fibrillation
(VF). In Tibb-e-Unani, there is no
concept of cardiac dysrhythmia as such. But many signs and symptoms of cardiac
dysrhythmia are described as diseases, e.g. Khafqan (palpitation), Gashi
(syncope), Zoaf-e-qalab (heart weakness) Zigatul qalab, and
Qazaful qalab. The basic concept of cardiac dysrhythmia is given as
collaborative efforts of both Unani and modern medicine. All authentic books of
Tibb-e-Unani such as Al-Qanun
Fittib, Kitabul Hawi, and Kamil-u-Sana explain about these
basic signs and symptoms in right perspective. |
