Impact of Yoga on Cardiac Autonomic Function and Arrhythmias

Yoga may influence heart rhythm through its effects on breathing, stress, vagal activity, and autonomic regulation. A scientific review by Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy, and colleagues affiliated with the Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute, Texas Heart Rhythm Institute, Overland Park Regional Medical Center, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, and the University of Memphis explores what this could mean for atrial fibrillation, syncope, and other cardiac arrhythmias.
