An estimated 17.7 million deaths are attributable to cardiovascular disease, or 31% of total global mortality, cardiovascular diseases (Hypertension) represent one of the most significant health problems of modern civilization. Stroke; and heart attack often lead to lethal outcomes; the essential problem underneath is thrombus formation. Prophylactic approaches include acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel therapy on the level of primary hemostasis, i.e., primary clot formation.Thus, the application of plant species, medicinal plants rich in rosmarinic acid and polyphenols, and flavonoids in the prevention of thrombus formation is of interest. The rationale of the present review is to analyse the activity of Rosmarinus officinalis in the cardiovascular system. Pre-clinical; studies under experimental conditions show that Rosemary has a marked effect on Hypertension.
