In any of the above explained conditions either the involvement of ''hridaya'' (heart) or ''manas''(mind) are not specified. Hence they implicate more of neurological pathology rather than psychological disorder.

''Apatantraka'' which is explained in Trimarmeeya siddhi adhyaya of siddhi sthana (9th chapter, verses 12 to 15) is very much similar to that of apasmara in its clinical presentation. Avarana of hridaya by doshas lead to paroxysm of the vyadhi with pain in shira, shankha; body bending like a bow, akshepa (convulsions), dyspnea, hoarse expiratory cry like that of a pigeon, unconsciousness, etc. Once the avarana to hridaya by the doshas is clear the person looks healthy.

''Apatantraka'' is a ''hridaya marmashrita vyadhi'' which indicates variation in emotional intelligence of the person.The theory of neuro-cardiology differentiates apatantraka from apasmara the latter being a disorder of logical intelligence (smriti budhi satwa samplavat- ch. Ni. 8/5)

Apasmara is emphasized as manasa vikara due to loss of smriti (power of recollection), buddhi vyapoha (declining of logical and analytical understanding). The person becomes moodha (stupid). This holds appropriate to say “the loss of logical intelligence in the person”.
