Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017 BackgroundDespite recent improvements in angioplasty and placement of drug‐eluting stents in treatment of atherosclerosis, restenosis and in‐stent thrombosis impede treatment efficacy and cause numerous deaths. Research efforts are needed to identify new

Extract of Aquilaria crassna leaves and mangiferin are vasodilators while showing no cytotoxicity
Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine, 2019 The leaves of Aquilaria spp. promote “physiological balance”, and are “cardiotonic and provide blood nourishment”. In Asia, these leaves are increasingly consumed as tea and claimed to provide benefits to cardiovascular function, albeit without any ...
