Abstract

One of the leading causes of mortality worldwide is cardiac vascular disease. According to the WHO report, CVDs affect 17.9 million people each year and will affect 22.2 million people by 2030. The plants include flavonoids, polyphenols, plant Sulphur compounds, and terpenoids, which are all active phytochemicals. Recent research has revealed that flavonoids are substances with strong biological effects that may help prevent chronic illnesses including cardiovascular disease. The prevention of low-density lipoprotein oxidation, which encourages vasodilatation, is a common flavonoid mode of action. Due to the rising frequency of CVD, numerous plants have been identified to contain a number of physiologically active chemicals with known biological effects; however, proper CVD preventive and treatment approaches are still needed. This study aims to emphasize the cardiovascular risk factors, in addition to explaining the processes through which naturally occurring bioactive chemicals exhibit their cardiovascular preventive effects.
