Yoga-CaRe HR results presented at #ScientificSessions26

Yoga-based cardiac rehabilitation improved quality of life, increased 6-minute walk distance, and improved quality-adjusted utility value at 3 months compared with enhanced standard care, with differences persisting through 24 months. The intervention did not significantly reduce the composite clinical endpoint of death, repeat hospitalization, or stroke.
The image is a presentation slide from the American Heart Association titled "YOGA-CaRe HF: Yoga-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation in Heart Failure." It includes an objective, study design, and conclusions. The objective is to assess if yoga-based cardiac rehab reduces cardiac events and improves health for heart failure patients. The study was multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, and blinded-endpoint, with 3,959 participants. Conclusions state that yoga improved quality of life and six-minute walk distance, with differences lasting 24 months, but did not significantly reduce death, rehospitalization, or stroke. The slide includes the American Heart Association logo.
