The myocardial ischemia is a decrease of oxygen to the heart. This decrease can happen because of many reasons. One of the main reasons is the coronary artery disease. The myocardial ischemia is an acute shortage of blood supply to the myocardium, i.e the muscle of the heart. This decreases the oxygen supply to the muscle and causes the muscle to be unable to contract.

A Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) is an anatomic abnormality of the heart or major vessels that develops during fetal development. The exact cause of all congenital cardiac defects is not known. Congenital cardiac disease affects about 8 out of every 1000 live births. A ventricular septal defect is the most frequent type of heart abnormality.

Cardiac arrhythmia is the condition which the heart normal rhythm is just disrupted. The heart pumps blood containing oxygen, nutrients, immune cells, and regulatory molecules to the body organs. The rhythm of the heart is set by a cardiac muscle cells in the right atrium called the Sinoatrial (SA) node that acts as a spontaneous pacemaker to maintain adequate blood pressure and oxygen.

Angiography or is a scientific technique used for the purpose of medical imaging to visualize and analyze the lumen of blood vessels, arteries, veins, and the heart chambers. It help for the detection and quantification of coronary artery disease, identification and other structural abnormalities, and measurement of hemodynamic parameters.

Hypertension is known as an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and metabolic syndrome. Also some studies suggested a consumption of herbal medicine for improving them. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy of cinnamon supplementation on the improvement of blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients. Systematic search was done in several online databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus and Web of Sciences) to identify randomized controlled trials investigating the effect of cinnamon supplementation on systolic blood pressure (SBP) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) for all potential publication up to 29 November 2019. Weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculate to find the effect of cinnamon on the arms of this study. Potential publication bias was assessed using funnel plots and Egger weighted regression test. After excluding nonrelated records, 5 full-text articles included in this meta-analysis. Pooled results of the present meta-analysis on 332 participants indicated a significant reduction in SBP (WMD = -0.691, 95% CI = [-1.199, -0.182], P = 0.008) and DBP (WMD = -1.193, 95% CI = [-1.457, -0.930], P < 0.0001) following cinnamon administration. Also, no publication bias was found. The results of the present study suggested cinnamon for improving the blooad pressure in type 2 diabetic patients.
