Key result
Yoga demonstrates promising potential as an adjunct to medical therapy for the management of dysrhythmias through its interaction with autonomic tone.
Why the study?
Despite widespread use of yoga as a complementary practice, limited studies evaluate its role in the setting of cardiac dysrhythmias.
Does yoga improve cardiac autonomic function and reduce arrhythmias?
Does yoga improve cardiac autonomic function and reduce arrhythmias?
Yoga shows promise as an adjunctive therapy for managing dysrhythmias by modulating cardiac autonomic function, though further studies are needed.
Cautions against routine adoption for dysrhythmias; leaves open adjunct potential pending randomized trials.
With the expanding integration of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practices in conjunction with modern medicine, yoga has quickly risen to being one of the most common CAM practices across the world. Despite widespread use of yoga, limited studies are available, particularly in the setting of dysrhythmia. Preliminary studies demonstrate promising results from integration of yoga as an adjunct to medical therapy for management of dysrhythmias. In this review, we discuss the role of autonomic nervous system in cardiac arrhythmia,interaction of yoga with autonomic tone and its subsequent impact on these disease states. The role of yoga in specific disease states, and potential future direction for studies assessing the role of yoga in dysrhythmia.
