Abstract

Every year, Muslims observe fasting during the month of Ramadan, refraining from eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset for about a month. Fasting for more than 12 hours can be a concern, especially for people with certain diseases such as cardiovascular disorders. Unfortunately, the availability of research and medical guidelines on the safety of fasting in patients with heart disease is still limited, making it difficult for medical personnel, including doctors, to provide appropriate recommendations. Although there is now a risk classification to help assess whether a patient can fast, an examination of each individual's condition is still needed. Adjusting drugs based on their mechanism of action, half-life, and side effects is also very important so as not to worsen the patient's condition during fasting. Keywords: Heart, Hypertension, Ramadan
