Cardio Vascular Alterations Following Life Style Modifications: An Electrophysiological Aspect

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are increasingly affecting younger populations due to modern sedentary lifestyles and stress. Autonomic dysfunction is a key precursor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Baroreflex Sensitivity (BRS), an early electrophysiological marker of autonomic imbalance, plays a crucial role in cardiovascular regulation. Yoga, known for its mind-body benefits, has been shown to improve autonomic tone, reduce sympathetic activity, and enhance parasympathetic functions trough electrophysiological mechanisms, thus offering a non-pharmacological intervention to maintain cardiovascular health.
