#yoga #yogaforheart #hearthealth

According to research presented at Heart Failure 2024, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), yoga focused on breathing, meditation, and relaxation is linked with symptom improvement in patients with heart failure.
Yoga holds promise as an adjunctive therapy for heart failure patients owing to its multifaceted physiological and psychological benefits. Through its emphasis on controlled breathing, postures, and meditation, yoga can enhance autonomic nervous system regulation, improving cardiac function.
In the study, conducted at Kasturba Hospital in Manipal, India, researchers enrolled heart failure patients aged 30 to 70 who had undergone cardiac procedures within the past six months to one year and were on guideline-recommended medications. Out of 85 participants, 40 were assigned to the yoga group, while 45 were in the control group.
Researchers assessed heart structure and function at baseline, six months, and one year in both the yoga and control groups.
The results revealed that compared to the control group, the yoga group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in all measurements at six months and one year relative to baseline.
