Abstract


Objectives: Tetracarpidium conophorum, also known as African walnut, is a versatile climbing shrub with medicinal properties. In recent times, it has gained attention for its potential health benefits. This fruit not only promotes overall well-being but also aligns with certain lifestyle factors supported by scientific research. Its positive effects on heart health have been well-documented.
Study Approach: A comprehensive review of relevant literature was conducted, encompassing studies published from 2017 to 2023. The review specifically investigated the influence of Tetracarpidium conophorum on the cardiovascular system, with a particular emphasis on its potential implications for cardiac toxicity.
Findings: Four reports were identified as the most pertinent sources regarding the pharmaceutical evidence of Tetracarpidium conophorum on the cardiovascular system. These reports suggest that Tetracarpidium conophorum has a significant therapeutic effect on cardiac toxicity.
Conclusion: Based on the four identified reports, it can be inferred that Tetracarpidium conophorum has the potential to be a valuable ingredient in pharmaceuticals aimed at mitigating cardiac toxicity.
