Hawthorn: Hawthorn (Crataegus sp.), a flowering shrub of the rose family, has an extensive history of use in cardiovascular disease dating back to the first century. Increased blood flow to the heart and heart performance have been observed in animals due when given hawthorn supplements, and one randomized clinical trial indicates that hawthorn may be effective in decreasing frequency or severity of anginal symptoms. Hawthorn has not been tested in the setting of concomitant drugs such as beta-blockers or ACE-inhibitors, which are often considered to be standard-of-care. At this time, there is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against hawthorn for coronary artery disease or angina. Caution is advised when taking hawthorn supplements, as adverse effects including drug interactions are possible. Hawthorn supplements should not be used if pregnant or breast-feeding, unless otherwise directed by a doctor.
