Abstract
Aim. The aim of this review was to investigate the effects of Crocus sativus (Saffron) on cardiovascular diseases from Iranian traditional medicine to modern phytotherapy.
Background. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) presently accounts for almost half of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and causes deaths of 17.3 million per year. Crocus sativus is one of the various traditional herbs that have been demonstrated to have therapeutic effects on cardiovascular disease. Crocus sativus, commonly known as Saffron, is a species of flowering plant of the Crocus genus in the Iridaceae family.
Method. Data were obtained from searching the scientific databases including Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar and related Iranian traditional medicine books. The keywords included "Crocus sativus", "saffron", "cardiovascular diseases", "heart disease" and "therapeutic properties of saffron". Finally, searching in databases detected 58 records that 37 sources had the inclusion criteria and their full texts were carefully reviewed.
Findings. Crocus sativus shows antispasmodic, eupeptic, gingival sedative, anticatarrhal, nerve sedative, carminative, diaphoretic, expectorant, stimulant, stomachic, aphrodisiac, and emmenagogue activities. In addition, it is effective in treating cardiovascular disease. Crocus sativus extract has an anti-arrhythmic effect, vascular smooth muscle relaxant, blood pressure reducing effect and protective role on ischemic heart disease. Also, it can play an important role in stopping ischemic heart damage and be used as a new preventive tool for ischemic heart disease.
Conclusion. Many studies confirm that Crocus sativus has a wide range of pharmacological activities, but it seems more research is needed to evaluate these mechanisms.

Abstract
Aim. This study was designed to identify factors affecting lifestyle modification in people with ischemic heart disease.
Background. Lifestyle is an important determinant of health. The relationship between lifestyle and various diseases has been reported in many studies. Ischemic heart disease is one of the most important diseases related to lifestyle, which causes significant morbidity and mortality in societies. Understanding the factors affecting the lifestyle modification of people with ischemic heart disease can reduce the complications caused by this condition.
Method. This integrated review with the seven-step method of Dhollande et al. (2021), searching for effective factors on lifestyle modification in people with heart ischemia in Persian and English language articles published from January 2013 to March 2024. The keywords included lifestyle, modification, change, ischemic heart disease, coronary heart disease, inhibiting factors and facilitating factors, which were searched out in databases including PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Sciences, Magiran and SID. A total of 2753 articles were obtained, and finally 20 articles were selected and reviewed in this study.
Findings. The review of studies showed that 19 articles are in English and one article is in Farsi. The number of participants in all selected studies was 738809. Eight studies were conducted with qualitative method, eight with quantitative observational designs and four with clinical trial design. Also, 12 studies were conducted in European countries, while eight were conducted in Asian countries. The themes of the articles were obtained in the form of demographics, socio-economic, political-organizational, psychological-learning and individual-belief factors.
Conclusion. Lifestyle modification in people with ischemic heart disease is a complex and multidimensional process. Holistic support for these patients is necessary to modify their lifestyle. Understanding these factors is a basis for improving care programs for these patients.
