Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) accounts for approximately 30% of overall death worldwide. There are various CVDs among which Myocardial Infarction (MI) and stroke are found to be the major contributor to mortality. Adrenaline and isoprenaline are the catecholamines used in various cardiovascular interventions. However, toxic doses causes stress on the myocardium causing necrosis in the cardiac muscles. It is discovered that pathophysiological and morphological alterations observed in these catecholamines overdose are similar to changes in MI in humans. Hence they are considered as reliable model to investigate protective effect in case of heart attack. Doxorubicin belongs to the class of anthracycline antibiotic, which is most widely used in the treatment of range of cancers such as leukaemias, lymphomas, sarcomas, solid tumors etc. Despite its widespread use it produces dose dependent selective cardiotoxicity via the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Dexroxazone is the only approved drug by USFDA to alleviate DOX induced cardiotoxicity, the drawback is that it interferes with the clinical activity of DOX. Paradoxically, researchers investigated the potential of phytochemicals such as Curcuma longa, Allium sativum, Coleus forskohlii, Syzygium aromaticum, Crocus sativus etc. against drugs induced cardiotoxicity. Unlike synthetic drugs, phytochemicals from natural products are safe for long term use. The present article reviews possible mechanisms of inducing agents, changes in parameters and cardioprotective effects of various plant species against drugs induced cardiotoxicity.
