Evaluating the Role of Yoga Therapy in Cardiovascular Disease and Stress Disorder Management

Netraa Tanna, Dr. Pragya Verma

Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and stress-related disorders are closely linked, with chronic psychological stress recognized as a major contributor to cardiac dysfunction. As medical science continues to explore integrative and non-invasive therapies, yoga has emerged as a promising adjunct to conventional treatment. This review examines the physiological and psychological pathways through which yoga, especially the AVAV (Aahaar, Vihaar, Achaar, Vichaar) framework, can positively influence cardiovascular health. By analysing recent studies, the paper highlights yoga?s role in lowering blood pressure, regulating lipid profiles, reducing mental stress, and enhancing autonomic stability. The review further explores how lifestyle modification through yoga can offer a sustainable approach to managing CVD risk factors, particularly in underserved populations.
