Objective: Analytical study on Heart Attack (Cardio Vascular Disease) in terms of Vedic Astrology

Approach: In process of subject understudy around 500 individuals were contacted. The study was carried out over 27 principles of Jyoish in respect of each Birth Chart.

Findings: From Analysis of these charts it was corroborated that the Heart problem in an individual was not just a coincidence, but as a result of series of un-favorable planetary conditions in natal chart, Navamsh as well as in transitory horoscope of individuals. A detailed analysis in this regard was carried out based on Planets, houses, Dasha/AntarDasha/ PratyantarDasha etc. On analysis it was also revealed that affliction of mere fourth house or Sun in natal chart does not necessary result in heart attack, as derived in earlier studies. Rather, almost all the significators of the heart i.e. Sun, Fourth house, lord of fourth house, Leo, Cancer etc. were found inflicted in the natal chart as well as Navamsh of the individual suffering from heart problem or heart attack.

Summary and Conclusion: It could be established from the study that astrological principles may be very effective tool to predict and diagnose the presence of Heart Disease in living beings. The study found a substantial agreement between the heart problems in target population with the available principle of astrology pertaining to Heart Disease with respect to planetary position in Natal Chart, Navamsh, Dasha /Antardasha and Gochar. Vedic Astrology, if used with proper sense of understanding, can determine the pathogenesis of disease well before its onset, which in turn will assist deterrent medical diagnosis and treatment.

In this study an effort has been made to analyse all the factors/significators responsible for heart problems, still scholars are encouraged to come up with the improvements in shortcomings of the study and carry forward the legacy of the Vedic Science for betterment of society and livings beings. On the basis of analysis made few of the conclusions which could be drawn are as under;

•On analysis it was noticed that almost all the significators of heart i.e. Sun, fourth house, lord of fourth house, Cancer, Leo, Lagn, Lagnesh etc., responsible for heart problem, were found under infliction (except in few cases). It can be corroborated that only infliction of Sun or fourth house cannot result in heart problem,

•Where Lagnesh was weak, in Rahu Ketu Axis or conjunct Rogesh/Astmesh/Vyayesh or Markesh with various other malefic conditions of significators of heart, the individual was under heart problem since birth,

•It was also observed that with sufficient affliction to the significators of heart, where Lagnesh was debilitated/moving to debilitation and in marak house/6th house/aspected by Markesh etc. in most of the cases resulted in death of individual after heart attack.

•With the inflictions of the significator of heart, where Lagnesh though under malefic conditions but in exalted position and forthcoming Dasha/AntarDasha/Pratyantar Dasha was of benefic planets, individual responded quickly to treatment.

•In almost all the cases, individuals suffering from heart problems during Dasha/AntarDasha/ Pratyantar Dasha etc. of Rogesh/Astmesh/ Vyayesh/Markesh or inflicted planets, were directly related to the factors responsible for the heart i.e. Sun, Fourth house, Lord of fourth house, Leo & Cancer etc. Where the disease was inflicted under Dasha/AntarDasha periods of Rahu/Ketu, the factors responsible for Heart problems were in Rahu-Ketu Axis/aspects.
