Abstract
The article analyzes scientific research on the phytochemical and pharmacological activity of hawthorn. It has been shown that hawthorn has cardiotonic, vasodilating, antiarrhythmic, and antioxidant effects, which makes it possible to use it in the complex therapy of chronic heart failure, arterial hypertension and coronary heart disease, neurogenic and cardiac disorders. The advantages and limitations of using hawthorn preparations in various diseases and pathological conditions are described in detail. Special attention is paid to one of the urgent pharmacological and therapeutic problems – the safety of hawthorn use. The emphasis is placed on the need for further research and its most important areas.
