This book was released on 2022-12-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yoga and healthy dietary practices enhances the psycho-neuro immune system and other physiological functions like cardio vascular health. Yoga reduces the action of sympathetic nervous system and increases the action of parasympathetic nervous system, and reduces heart rate, stress reactions and the flow of Adrenalin in the body. Breathing exercises like pranayama and meditation help in the management of stress and relaxation of the body. They also supply more oxygen to the heart. Meditations activate the psycho-Neuro-Immune system (PNI) of the body and release the positive neuro transmitters that help in the reversal of heart disease. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) indeed is a global health burden. Major risk factors of CVD are obesity and stress. Adequate physical activity and relaxation technique can lower the risk of CVD. Physical exercise and pranayama are components of yoga. There are marked abnormalities in the neurohormonal system in a variety of disease states. Most dramatic examples of heightened neuronal adrenergic activity of disrupted receptor functions are heart failure, acute myocardial ischemia, hypertension, coronary artery vasospasm and post-operative arrhythmias. The levels of catecholamine correlate with the outcome of patients with heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. Abnormal neurohormone status has been thought to contribute to myocardial ischemia; these hormonal disturbances can be settled to a large extent by practicing yoga. Dietary guidelines recommend a high intake of vegetables and fruits and a low intake of saturated fatty acids, cholesterol and salt to reduce cardiovascular morbidity. Large body of evidence indicates that predominantly plant-based (vegetarian) diets can effectively contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) but not highly explored the significance of raw diet and yoga in cardiac congestive failure patients. The main objective of the present study was to assess the effect of yoga and raw diet on functional capacity and quality of life of patients with CCF. The investigation also sought to evaluate the changes of some vital signs and some physiological parameters such as total Cholesterol, LDL, blood sugar, blood electrolytes, body mass index and VO2 uptake. The investigator has conducted two separate pilot studies to see the effect of yoga on the reduction of BMI and VO2uptake and found significant changes in the values after the intervention (P

This book was released on 2022-02-16 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congestive heart failure severity and mortality can be predicted by the measurement of quality of life (QuoL). Treatment should be started immediately after congestive heart failure is diagnosed, Perhaps the most important and yet most neglected aspect of treatment involves lifestyle modifications. Despite medical advances over the past two decades, mortality remains high at 50% within five years of diagnosis. Furthermore, providing appropriate evidence-based care for heart failure patients requires the integration and implementation of complex management strategies. At the beginning of the 21stcentury, heart failure specialists must be able to do much more than ever before. Therapies such as medications, catheter-based coronary interventions, electrophysiologic procedures and devices, transplantation, mechanical circulatory support, and even immune modulation therapies now need to be understood and appropriately deployed. The gap between the number and the need for qualified heart failure specialists is widening.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of patients living with heart failure (HF) is on the rise. Yoga has been found to improve physical and psychological parameters amongst healthy individuals. The effects of yoga on HF patients are unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of yoga on cardio-vascular endurance [functional capacity (FC)], flexibility, inflammatory markers, and quality of life (QoL) on medically stable HF patients. Forty HF patients with compensated systolic or diastolic HF participated in the study. A randomized control design created two groups, yoga (N=21). and control (N=19). The treatment intervention consisted of 16-yoga sessions conducted bi-weekly (YG) vs. standard medical care (control- CG) for two months. All participants were asked to follow a home walk program. Pre- and post-study measurements included a treadmill stress test to peak exertion, flexibility (FLEX), girth, interleukin-6 (IL-6), c- reactive protein (CRP), and extra-cellular dismutase (EC-SOD). Quality of life was assessed by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLwHFQ). Forty patients were randomized to YG (N=21) or CG (N=19). The results were significant for favorable changes in the YG as compared to the CG for flexibility (P=0.012), treadmill time (P=0.002), ~VO2peak (P=0.003), and all biomarkers (IL-6, CRP, and EC-SOD) of inflammation. Within the YG, pre- to post- test scores for the total and physical sub- scale of the MLwHFQ were significant (P=0.02 and P

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores in depth the relation between physical activity and cancer control, including primary prevention, coping with treatments, recovery after treatments, long-term survivorship, secondary prevention, and survival. The first part of the book presents the most recent research on the impact of physical activity in preventing a range of cancers. In the second part, the association between physical activity and cancer survivorship is addressed. The effects of physical activity on supportive care endpoints (e.g., quality of life, fatigue, physical functioning) and disease endpoints (e.g., biomarkers, recurrence, survival) are carefully analyzed. In addition, the determinants of physical activity in cancer survivors are discussed, and behavior change strategies for increasing physical activity in cancer survivors are appraised. The final part of the book is devoted to special topics, including the relation of physical activity to pediatric cancer survivorship and to palliative cancer care.

Download or read book Integrative Cardiology written by Stephen Devries and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2011-02-03 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrative Cardiology is an exploration of a new and much-needed perspective in cardiac care: the intelligent synthesis of conventional medicine with alternative approaches not typically part of Western medical curriculum. More than a blending of two approaches, this new perspective in cardiology highlights specific gaps in conventional heart care, and examines how alternative approaches may be ideally suited to address these missed opportunities.Cardiology is an ideal specialty for an integrative approach. Heart disease is largely preventable. The influence of nutrition, physical activity, metabolic factors, and emotional state on heart health is unmistakable, and the wide-angle lens of integrative medicine is an ideal model to address these multi-faceted needs. Most importantly, the focus of this work is directed at prevention. The approaches described in this book emphasize collaboration of the patient and health care provider--both seeking to obtain the best possible outcome taking into account the intangible, but vital, nuances of the patient's culture, beliefs, and preferences.The first section in this book describes the core elements of integrative cardiology, beginning with nutrition. Foundational chapters that follow include exercise, botanicals, aspirin, metabolic cardiology, acupuncture, spirituality, mind/body approaches, and energy medicine. Contributing authors, all of whom have a background in academic medicine, share the approaches they have found most effective in their own practices, referencing their work with the best scientific evidence available.
