Table 2. Impact of yoga on various cardiac conditions.

HR: Heart Rate, BMI: Body Mass Index, LDL: Low-Density Lipoprotein

Heart Condition	Impact of Yoga
Cardiac Autonomic Dysfunction	Increases HR variability. Increases vagal output. Decreases sympathetic arousal [33].
Arrhythmias	Decreases arrhythmias by reducing sympathetic nervous system activity and promoting parasympathetic output. Decreases the number of symptomatic and asymptomatic atrial fibrillation episodes [34].
Coronary Artery Disease	Decreases BMI, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, HR, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL [35].
Heart Failure (HF)	Decreases HR and blood pressure [36]. Improves balance, strength, and endurance [37]. The addition of yoga therapy to standard medical therapy showed improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction [38].
