Different important and involuntary functions are regulated by different Dosha, Dhatu and Oja, which are situated in the heart. <em>Hridroga </em>is disease of Marma and is life threatening. However emphasis is given to explore the possibility of inclusion of electrocardiogram a bedside investigating tool as a support to existing <em>Pramanas </em>and <em>Rugna pariksha</em>. In accordance with the&nbsp;World Health Organization, India accounts for one-fifth of these deaths worldwide especially in younger population. So the study aimed at comprehension of electrocardiographic changes in patients suffering from <em>Vataja Hridroga </em>as mentioned in <em>Charak samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Ashtanghridaya</em> and their specific correlation. 100 patients were included in the study and their symptomatology with electrocardiographic changes was observed. <em>Vata Pradhan Kapha-Pitta Anubandha</em> observed in in 38% patients, <em>Vata Pradhan Kapha Anubandha</em> observed in 34% patients, <em>Keval Vata Pradhanata</em> observed in 23% patients, <em>Vata Pradhan Pitta Anubandha</em> observed in 5% patients. This <em>Kapha-Pitta Anubandha</em> indicates its contribution in <em>Srotorodha Pradhan</em> and <em>Avaranatmak Samprapti.</em> Dosha vitiation and Anubandha causes various pathological changes in Hridaya like Shotha, Paka, Srotorodh thereby leads to specific changes in electrocardiogram. Significant correlation between two were observed.</p> ER -
