Abstract in brief

The study found that drinking pomegranate juice for 5 days helped reduce the severity and frequency of angina (chest pain) in patients with unstable angina and lowered levels of harmful substances like troponin and malondialdehyde, which are linked to heart damage.
Pomegranate juice did not significantly change other health parameters like blood pressure or heart rate during the study, but the results suggest it has protective effects against heart damage caused by ischemia (lack of blood flow) and reperfusion injury (damage when blood flow is restored).
Overall, the research indicates that incorporating pomegranate juice could be a beneficial, natural way to help protect heart health in patients with ischemic heart disease.]
