patients of CHD with a dose of 6 gram per day in divided
doses. There was significant fall in lipid profile besides
clinical improvement and ECG changes. One hundred fifty
patients of coronary heart disease with objective evidence
of ischemic changes in ECG and exertional angina were
treated with Puskara guggulu powder for a period of
6 months or total dose level of 6-8 g per day in divided
doses. Cholesterol, triglycerides and total lipids were
estimated at baseline before initiating the treatment
and at the end of first, third and six months subsequently.
