Yoga Rehab Improved Exercise Capacity and Quality of Life in Heart Failure Trial
An Indian randomized trial tested yoga-based cardiac rehabilitation in people with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction.
This condition means the heart pumps out less blood than normal with each beat.
The program did not change cardiac outcomes, according to the trial summary.
But participants had large gains in exercise capacity and quality of life.
That suggests the approach may help people feel and function better without changing the measured heart outcomes.
The available information does not say what happens next.
A trial found that yoga-based cardiac rehabilitation did not change cardiac outcomes for people with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction.
The trial reported improvements in exercise capacity.
The trial also reported improvements in quality of life.
The article describes the study as an Indian randomized trial.
