Modern clinicians are just beginning to use arjuna for coronary artery disease, heart failure, and high cholesterol. The herb's components include a variety of polyphenols, which probably account for much of its activity. They include three flavonoids (arjunone, arjunolone, and luteolin), four triterpenoid saponins (arjunic acid, arjunolic acid, arjungenin, and arjunglycosides), tannins, ellagic acid, gallic acid, and proanthocyanidinic oligomers. Arjuna also contains phyto-sterols, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and copper.

Arjuna seems to work by improving cardiac muscle function and the pumping activity of the heart. The saponin glycosides might be accountable for this effect, while the flavonoids and proanthocyanidinic oligomers contribute antioxidant action and strengthen veins.

Scientific information about arjuna is beginning to accumulate. Angina pectoris patients in particular may benefit from arjuna. A 1999 study indicated that arjuna was more effective than a standard drug for angina. Arjuna was effective for 80percent of the patients, and the herb reduced the number of angina attacks from seventy-nine per week to twenty-four per week. In a recent study from India, patients with stable angina cut their heart pain in half after three months of therapy with arjuna alone. When the researchers examined the patients' overall clinical condition, treadmill results, and heart strength, 66 percent showed improvement.

Arjuna is particularly effective for congestive heart failure. A recent experiment bears this out. A double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-phase trial of arjuna extract in patients with severe cases of the condition was conducted. Arjuna was added to the patients' regular drugs. In just two weeks, breathing difficulties, fatigue, edema, heart contraction, blood pressure, and walking tolerance all improved. In the second phase of the study, the subjects continued taking the arjuna for two years. Their conditions continued to improve for the first two to three months of the study's second phase, and the improvements were maintained during the entire two years.

In Conclusion-  The thousand years ancient Ayurveda has documented Arjuna bark as cardioprotective or hridaya is being proven as to be true by modern medical science . Arjuna bark powder has been found to contain CoenzymeQ10 or CoQ10. This is very important in metabolizing cellular energy. CoQ10 is most concentrated in healthy heart muscle tissues which supports the continuous pumping action of the heart.
