Ginseng has shown potential cardioprotective effects by way of anti-oxidative, anti-arrhythmic, calcium- channel antagonistic, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties. The underlying mechanisms may also lie in certain complex signaling pathways. Clinical evidence seemed to be less convincing as the potential cardioprotective effects of Ginseng have been investigated by using combined preparations rather than by purified bioactive ingredients in most occasions. The exact actions of Ginseng verified by using its individual bioactive ingredients will be our future research work.
