“…Borage oil possesses antioxidant activity which is superior compared to gamma-linolenic itself 41 . Borage oil reduced progression of cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure in rats through attenuation of inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis in the myocardium 42 as could be seen from histopathology examination of the heart and the reduction in TNF-alpha in the present study. Gammalinolenic acid afforded protection from ventricular fibrillation in aged rats 43 .…”

Introduction Cardiovascular diseases CVDs are considered as the major cause of morbidity and death worldwide in both developed and developing countries 1. Dyslipidemia, oxidative stress and inflammation are among the reported risk factors for cardiovascular diseases 2. Recently fatty liver with inflammation steatohepatitis , which is increasing worldwide, is accused as being major player in induction of cardiovascular diseases 3. Generally, the condition including dyslipidemia, inflammation, steatohepatitis, oxidative stress and impaired glucose tolerance is called metabolic syndrome.

“…Two important herbal medicines used to treat heart disease are Echium amoenum and Citrus aurantium in the southern regions of Iran [ 13 ]. Studies have shown the positive role of Echium amoenum in cardiac remodeling in an animal model with MI and congestion [ 14 ]. The effect of Echium amoenum on the blood pressure and heart rate in an animal model was studied.…”

Medicinal herbs and some derivatives have been used in the treatment of heart disease which is rarely responsible for ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Ventricular tachycardia (VT) increases the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). However, only a few reports are available about the cardiac ventricular arrhythmia followed by taking herbal medicines. We present two patients (a couple) without a history of heart disease who referred to the hospital with ventricular arrhythmia.

“…Based on these results, borage oil reduces development of cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure. 30 Furthermore, it is largely acknowledged that emotional elements might impact physical function. This matter is lectured in comprehensive medicine as well as neuroscience.…”

Echium amoenum, also named Gol-e-gavzaban in Persian, from boraginaceae family is one of the most commonly used medicinal plants, is distributed in the Northern region of Iran, as well as Europe and Mediterranean region. E. amoenum is traditionally used as herbal tea in Iranian traditional medicine for conditions such as common cold, bronchitis, stress and fatigue. It also possesses diaphoretic, diuretic and blood rectifying properties. The dried violet–blue petals of Iranian Borage are used as general tonic, cardiotonic, diaphoretic, diuretic, sedative and anti-tussive according to the Iranian Traditional Medicine (ITM). In this review article, the uses of E. amoenum as explained by Avicenna book II, Canon of medicine, book of Al-Adviah-Al-ghalbiah, and various databases of the latest scientific studies are discussed and compared. Using the experiences of old scientists in the botanical field and the properties of herbal medicines, as well as adapting new findings to old knowledge, can help us improve our understanding of prevention and treatment.It can also lead to obtain safe and cheap drugs. However, there are many common characteristics about the pharmacological properties of this plant in modern medicine and Iranian traditional medicine, but more research is needed to prove the safety and efficacy of the plant.
