Ginger, Zingiber officinale, is a member of the Zingiberaceae family, used in
traditional medicine for treatment of a variety of conditions. Many pharmacological
activities have been reported for this plant (anti-inflammatory, anti-tumorigenic,
anti-apoptotic, anti-hyperglycemic, cancer-chemopreventive, and anti-lipidemic).
Cardiovascular disease, which includes coronary artery disease, acute myocardial
infarction, peripheral arterial disease, and stroke, is one of the leading causes of death
worldwide. In recent years, several studies have described that ginger can control or
improve some cardiovascular risk factors such as cholesterol levels, hypertension, or
atherosclerosis. The aim of the present review is to summarize the effects of ginger
bioactive compounds on cardiovascular diseases. [--]
