Preliminary
Drug interactions occur when one drug alters the effects of other drugs. Altered drug action can be more or less reactive. Individual reactions vary. Factors that can affect offspring among other properties, liver and kidney function, age (which is the most sensitive babies and people aged over 50 years), presence or absence of a disease, the amount of drug used, duration of treatment, the time between the use of two drugs, and which drugs are used initially. Therefore their effects may not mean anything to anyone but very dangerous for others. The basic thing that should be realized is that the hazard may occur.
Drugs taken through four basic processes in the body. From the mouth, to the stomach medicine, and then to the intestines. Here the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream and spread throughout the body so that it appears the effect. Drugs or dimetabolisis then described by the liver. Finally, a form of medicine that has been described, is excreted in the urine through the kidneys. On drug interactions, a drug other drugs that change in one or more pharmacological processes. This type of interaction is called pharmacokinetic interactions. The other main type of interaction is a pharmacologic interaction. On this type, the effect of a drug will increase (synergism) or reduce the effects of other drugs (antagonism) effects of the second drug.
Classification of Cardiac Drugs and Drug Interactions
The most common heart disorder occurs is angina, cardiac arrhythmias, and withered heart. Pain angina occurs when the heart does not receive enough oxygenated blood. This occurs when blood flow through a coronary artery is blocked, usually due to blockage of that line the inside of the arteries. This unpleasant situation usually occurs when the heart has to work harder, such as the physical fatigue and emotional stress.
Irregular heartbeat is normal heart rhythm disorders. There are many different types of arrhythmias, namely fibrillation, cardiac flutter, palpitation, premature beats, and paroxysmal takhikardia (very fast heart rate).
Wilting occurs when the heart fails to pump blood the heart immediately after blood entry. This causes blood to accumulate in the lungs so that the breath will be short and to accumulation of fluid in body tissues. Cardiac drugs are grouped into 6 sections, namely:
1. Angina drug

Medicinal plants Heart Disease
Plants are used by humans for thousands of years for medicinal purposes. In this approach it is stated that, interference with one of the organs will cause an imbalance of other organs. If the balance of the body's problems can not be resolved, then there will be health problems. Treatment performed by healers aims to help the natural healing and restore the health of people in balanced conditions, not only eliminate the symptoms.
The main principle of treatment with medicinal plants is important to use total plant extracts, not pure or artificial substance isolation of certain specific functions, especially synthetic materials. Constituent chemical diversity in plants can result in extensive activity in the body. The chemical compound will work together so as to eliminate possible side effects and may provide the ability to work in unison. Thus, the amount of compound required relatively little compared pemakaina single compound.
A number of plants are scattered in nature containing steroid glycosides with 23 or 24 carbon atoms which can strengthen the effect on the heart is weakened.
In the plants, cardiac glycosides present in seed plants. Commonly found in many parts Apocynaceae and Asclepiadaceae, but also found in some plants Liliaceae, Ranunculaceae, and Euphorbiaceae.
· Apocynaceae tribes, such as: pulasari (Alyxia stellate A)
· Liliaceae tribes, such as: Garlic (Allium sativum L) and onion (Allium cepa L)
· Ranunculaceae tribes, such as black cumin (Nigella sativum)
· Euphorbiaceae tribe, such as: Meniran (Phyllantus niruri L)
Plant Interactions with Cardiovascular Drugs
· Concomitant administration of ergot alkaloids and potentially cause coronary vasospasm may aggravate angina.
· Lisinopril if combined with garlic (can increase the antihypertensive effect)
· Ginseng (aggravate hypertension).
· Increased vasodilator effects and side effects including severe hypotension and myocardial ischemia may occur when used with nifedipine grapefruit.
Cardiovascular Drug Interactions Plants
· Allii nightingale sativa (garlic)
Aliin mangandung fresh tubers from 0.2 to 1.0%. Aliin or S-allyl-L-Cysteine is a compound soluble in water, and its chemical formula is (-)-5-allyl-L-Cysteine-solfoksida, which can be hydrolyzed by the enzyme activity alisin aliinliase form, ammonia, and acid ketoasetat.
Aliin hemihidrat compound which is colorless and crystallized in the form of needles with acetone solvent. Molecule has two centers of asymmetry that can have four isomers, two of which were derived from L-Cysteine and D-Cysteine nature. The fourth isomer has to be synthesized and the one that is identical to the natural aliin is (-)-S-allyl-L-Cysteine sulfoxide.
Alisin unstable and can decompose during distillation or hydrolyzed by water or sodium carbonate to form polysulfide compounds, dialilsulfida, which cause the bad smell of essential oil. Hydrolysis decomposition that can be isolated is already trans compound - and / or cis-ajoen, 2-vinyl-[4H] -1,3-ditiin, 3-vinyl-[4H] -1,2-ditiin, dialiltrisulfida and metal- allyl-trisulfida.
