Effect of yoga on cardiac autonomic dysfunction and insulin resistance in non-diabetic offspring of type-2-diabetes parents: A randomized controlled study.

Objective: The present study was aimed to determine the effect of yoga program on cardiac autonomic dysfunction and insulin resistance in non-diabetic offspring of diabetes parents.

Methods: A randomized passive-controlled study was conducted on 64 non-diabetic offspring of type-2-diabetes parents (mean-age:25.17years).

Protective effects of Ethanolic Extract of (amla) on Cardiovascular Pathophysiology of Rats, Fed with High Fat Diet.

Introduction: Dietary high fat alters lipid profile and possibly induce sympatho-vagal imbalance. is found to be potential antioxidant and possibly counteract hyperlipidemia induced lipid peroxidation.

Aim: To assess Ethanolic extract of (EEO) as lipid lowering and cardiovascular protective agent against high dietary fat supplemented to experimental rats.

Comparison of yoga and walking-exercise on cardiac time intervals as a measure of cardiac function in elderly with increased pulse pressure.

Objective: Arterial aging along with increased blood pressure(BP) has become the major cardiovascular(CV) risk in elderly. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of yoga program and walking-exercise on cardiac function in elderly with increased pulse pressure (PP).

Methods: An open label, parallel-group randomized controlled study design was adopted.

Different anthropometric adiposity measures and their association with cardiovascular disease risk factors in middle aged women.

A cross sectional study of 136 women age group40-55 years was conducted to study which anthropometric measure had the strongest association with cardiovascular disease risk factors in middle aged women. In accordance with their BMI measurement subjects were divided into three groups namely: Normal weight (Group1) BMI 18.5-24.

Effect of yoga on arterial stiffness in elderly subjects with increased pulse pressure: A randomized controlled study.

Objective: We aimed to determine the effect of yoga on arterial function in elderly with increased pulse pressure (PP).

Design: Randomized controlled study with two parallel groups.

Participants: Elderly subjects with PP≥60 mmHg (n=60).

Effect of yoga on oxidative stress in elderly with grade-I hypertension: a randomized controlled study.

Background And Objectives: Hypertension, especially in elderly is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Oxidative stress has been implicated as one of the underlying cause of hypertension. Yoga has been found to control hypertension in the elderly, but the underlying benefits of mechanism in relation to oxidative stress regulation remains unclear.

Effect of yoga on short-term heart rate variability measure as a stress index in subjunior cyclists: a pilot study.

Subjunior athletes experience mental stress due to pressure from the coach, teachers and parents for better performance. Stress, if remains for longer period and not managed appropriately can leads to negative physical, mental and cognitive impact on children. The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of integrated yoga module on heart rate variability (HRV) measure as a stress index in subjunior cyclists.
