Gender differences in health-related quality of life, blood pressure and heart rate among patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after performing MediYoga.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation experience low health-related quality of life which can be improved by performing yoga. The aim of this study was to evaluate gender differences in health-related quality of life, blood pressure and heart rate among patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after performing MediYoga.

Methods

This is a secondary analysis of subgroups, investigating the yoga groups, from two randomized controlled trials (RCT 1: yoga group versus control group, RCT 2: a three-armed randomized study with yoga, control and relaxation groups). The yoga groups performed MediYoga for one hour/week over a 12-week period in both studies. Quality of life (SF-36), blood pressure and heart rate were collected at baseline and end of study.
