Abstract
Patients with heart disease often use or substitute their treatment with natural remedies, but the evidence for their cardiovascular effects, side effects, and interactions is generally weak. Many preparations have no documented cardiovascular benefits, while some have documented or potential harmful effects. Treating physicians should therefore be considerate of patients' potential usage of natural remedies, and actively engage with patients on this topic, as argued in this review.
