Trial Finds Tangible Results From Yoga as Cardiac Rehab

A randomized study of 3,500 patients, the Yoga-CaRe HF trial, found that yoga-based cardiac rehabilitation did not significantly reduce hard clinical events like death or stroke in heart failure patients. However, the program demonstrated substantial improvements in exercise capacity and quality of life scores. Researchers suggest that while clinical outcomes remained unchanged, the yoga program serves as a scalable, beneficial model for cardiac rehabilitation in India.
