Effect Of Yoga In Improving Quality Of Life After CABG Surgery

Modern medicine has given fascinating surgical and pharmacological solutions

for many critical health issues. Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is done for Coronary

Artery Disease (CAD)/ Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) to save a life in double and triple vessel

disease in India and Asian countries. But it cannot be a complete solution because the basic

cause of the disease is not tackled.

Lifestyle being the initiation of the disease, it can affect health and lead to the re-occurrence of

CAD and re-operation even after CABG. Lifestyle modification in a systematic plan in relation

to overall health is necessary. The most difficult task is the follow-up on lifestyle management

for the prevention and progression of atherosclerosis.

The aim of this study was to use yoga based lifestyle program for looking at the quality of life

(QOL) after CABG.
