ABSTRACT
Cardiovascular disease has been a source of morbidity and mortality in the world. The American Heart Association states that though the mortality has decreased yet the burden and impact are still threatening. Molecules from the plants have been a boon for mankind. These gifted molecules from nature have been a source of cure for various diseases, the cardiovascular disease being one of them. Many molecules have been investigated and rosmarinic acid obtained from various plants being one of them. Rosmarinic acid, till now, has received less attention in terms of its cardiovascular potential from the scientific community. This book chapter deals with the cardiovascular disease-modifying activities of rosmarinic
acid and sheds light for carrying out research in this domain. This book chapter has covered the attenuation or inhibition of AMI, arrhythmia, hypertension (HTN), etc., by Rosmarinic acid. For studying the effect of rosmarinic acid on cardiovascular disease, various protocols have been mentioned. After this discussion Rosmarinic, acid turns out to be a strong candidate having promising results in the management of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).
