Key result
An integrated approach of yoga therapy did not significantly improve left ventricular ejection fraction compared to standard care in patients with acute myocardial infarction (P=0.218).
Why the study?
To determine the feasibility and usefulness of introducing integrated yoga therapy in a cardiac rehabilitation center to improve cardiac function and manage risk factors in acute myocardial infarction patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
Does an integrated approach of yoga therapy improve left ventricular ejection fraction in acute myocardial infarction patients with left ventricular dysfunction?
Comparison
Integrated approach of yoga therapy plus standard care vs standard care alone

Yoga therapy does not improve LVEF post-acute MI; confirms no benefit on ventricular function in cardiac rehabilitation.
RCT (n=66)
No
Does an integrated approach of yoga therapy improve left ventricular ejection fraction in acute myocardial infarction patients with left ventricular dysfunction?
p-value: p=0.218
Integrated yoga therapy in a cardiac rehabilitation program for post-MI patients with LV dysfunction improves depression, anxiety, and quality of life, but does not improve cardiac function (LVEF).
Sharma et al. (2020) conducted an RCT in Acute myocardial infarction with left ventricular dysfunction (n=66). Integrated approach of yoga therapy (IAYT) vs. Standard care was evaluated on Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (p=0.218). An integrated approach of yoga therapy did not significantly improve left ventricular ejection fraction compared to standard care in patients with acute myocardial infarction (P=0.218).
