Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia Clinical Trial
— YOGA STAROfficial title:
The Effect of Yoga on Arrhythmia Burden and Quality of Life in Patients With Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia
Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) is an uncommon form of atrial tachycardia. The term
"inappropriate" in medicine is commonly defined as a heart rate greater than 100 beats per
minute at rest or with minimal physiological challenge. IST is characterized by an increased
resting heart rate with an exaggerated response to exercise or stress.
Yoga has been used extensively around the world as an alternative medicine approach in
treating numerous chronic and debilitating diseases. Studies have been conducted in various
countries to determine the benefits of Yoga as therapy for these chronic diseases. Several
studies have confirmed that yoga can reduce anxiety and regulate the stress response.
Studies in the past have shown that Yoga relieves stress, one of the most common triggers
for the arrhythmia and increased heart rate in IST. Based on past studies we hypothesize
that patients with IST might benefit by practicing yoga. Yoga may also help in better rate
and rhythm control with yoga when employed in combination with usual medical arrangement.
