Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia affecting thousands of individuals worldwide. It is a conduction disorder that causes the heart to beat irregularly and rapidly. There are a few medical approaches to manage this costly health care burden: antiarrhythmics to maintain normal sinus rhythm, beta blockers to achieve rate control while allowing atrial fibrillation to persist, and electro-physiologic intervention for rate and rhythm control. These treatments can be costly and are not without side effects. Yoga, an intervention that is available to people worldwide, has shown some promise in combating this widespread heart disorder.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keywords: <\/strong>Arrhythmia, Atrial fibrillation, Health care cost reduction, Medication alternative, Exercise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.?Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Yoga My Heart Study was a single center study that brought to light the therapeutic impact a noninvasive, medication-free intervention has on a costly disease. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia that affects two to three million people worldwide. It is associated with significant morbidity and is also an independent risk factor for mortality. One of the most debilitating complications of the disease is thromboembolic stroke, though it is also known to precipitate and worsen the outcomes of congestive heart failure, a disease already known to represent a significant financial burden [1]<\/a>. The treatment of AF and its associated complications increases healthcare resource utilization and contributes to increasing costs of healthcare, particularly costs associated with hospitalization (Fig. 1<\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.?Discussion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current AF treatment mainly consists of antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) and\/or catheter ablation. Unfortunately, both strategies have met with less than optimal results and patient satisfaction. While catheter ablation may offer up to 70% of patient?s freedom from AF, this is at the toll of an invasive procedure. Furthermore, freedom from AF is often defined on the basis of symptom reduction rather than continuous monitoring for true freedom from arrhythmia [3]<\/a>. While new, promising strategies such as FIRM and ganglionatedplexi ablation are on the, they are still associated with procedure-related risks including cardiac perforation, valvular injury, esophageal-atrial fistula formation, and phrenic nerve injury [4]<\/a>, [5]<\/a>, [6]<\/a>. In addition, many patients who suffer from AF have significant comorbidities that preclude invasive strategies and effective AADs and may require an alternative treatment strategy [7]<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the study conducted by Lakkireddy et al., the authors tested the hypothesis that yoga could reduce the burden and symptoms of AF. This was a small, single center trial that ultimately included 49 participants. The unique approach of this study involved patients serving as their own controls; for the first 3 months, patients continued standard AF AAD therapy, followed by 3 months of 60-min biweekly yoga sessions. Patients were also encouraged to practice yoga at home on a daily basis. The primary outcome was a composite of the reductions in symptomatic AF, symptomatic non-AF, and asymptomatic AF episodes as recorded by a diary and correlated with a non-looping event monitor. Strikingly, the results validate the ability of yoga practice to reduce patient-reported AF symptoms. It also demonstrated a statistically significant impact on quality of life (QoL), mental health, physical functioning, depression, and anxiety. Yoga training reduced symptomatic AF episodes (3.8\u00b13 vs. 2.1\u00b12.6, p<\/em><0.001), symptomatic non-AF episodes (2.9\u00b13.4 vs. 1.4\u00b12.0; p<\/em><0.001), asymptomatic AF episodes (0.12\u00b10.44 vs. 0.04\u00b10.20; p<\/em><0.001), and depression and anxiety (p<\/em><0.001) while improving, QoL parameters including physical functioning, general health, vitality, social functioning, and mental health as assessed using the SF-36 (p<\/em>=0.017, p<\/em><0.001, p<\/em><0.001, p<\/em>=0.019, and p<\/em><0.001, respectively). There were significant decreases in heart rate and systolic and diastolic blood pressure after yoga training (p<\/em><0.001) [2]<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably as importantly, there was an objective reduction in AF burden. This is an important finding as many other studies of AF interventions rely solely on subjective history and intermittent EKGs. Furthermore, the study demonstrated a nonpharmacological approach to improve overall QoL in patients with a common medical condition [2]<\/a>. This may directly result in decreased hospitalization and healthcare costs. Yoga is also an intervention free from medication-related side effects or the complications observed with cardiac ablation. Although the study does not present yoga as a treatment for AF, it does show it to be a favorable adjunct to current therapies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.?Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future directions for the study of the effect of yoga on AF are broad. A larger, randomized, and multi-center trial would certainly help validate the above findings. In addition, a longer-term follow-up would be needed to ensure the results persist, as this is a common weakness of other interventions. It may also be of value to echocardiographically monitor for signs of positive remodeling such as decreased left atrial volume over time as another potential benefit of yoga with broad antiarrhythmic potential.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoga by Emmanuel Carrere<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOutrageously Good\u201d<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book is wonderful and you absolutely have to read it, and I say that as a man who has not been able to touch his toes for a decade and who flees for all mention of wellness like a startled horse. Writing this wonderful transcends such petty barriers.

I\u2019m reluctant to go into specifics as I did not know what to expect and want you to feel what I felt as this unfurled before me. But one passage stands out so much that I need to talk about it, so I will make an exception.

Towards the end of the book, a piece of music is mentioned and viewed in text as a Youtube video<\/a>. This video exists and we are none too subtly nudged towards watching it ourselves (this sort of audience participation would normally be met with a steely indifference from me, but Carr\u00e8re had me in the palm of my hand at this point, I would have given him a major organ had he suggested it). Watching this clip alongside the author, and it really does feel like that, was one of the single greatest literary experiences of my life, a perfect few minutes. There is magic in these pages.

I love the indiscipline of this, the honesty, the divine humanness of it all. The best book I have read so far this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An arresting and deeply contemplative self-portrait of a man forced to face himself anew as tragic events unfold in his life, Yoga<\/em> is a powerful and revelatory memoir from the acclaimed author of The Adversary<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a book about yoga. Or at least, it was.<\/u><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 2015. High on literary success and familial bliss, Emmanuel Carrere embarks on a rigorous ten-day meditative retreat in rural France in search of clarity and material for his next book, which he thinks will be a subtle, upbeat introduction to yoga. But his trip is cut short, and he is brought down to earth with a thud as he returns to a Paris in turmoil in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From then on, Carrere\u2019s life begins to unravel, along with his novel-in-progress. He is diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder and is sectioned to a psychiatric hospital for a four-month stint, where he is subject to electroshock therapy. His marriage crumbles, he is struck by grief at the death of a close friend and is haunted by a love affair with a mysterious woman who disappeared from his life. Pushed to the edge of sanity and forced to reckon with his identity as a man and a writer, Carrere sets out on a life of action instead of meditation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a book that embraces the Yin and Yang of life: the pull between life and death, desire and despair, presence and absence, fight and flight. It is a book about a world and a man in tumult, and about how surprisingly far practising meditation \u2013 and writing about it \u2013 can take us in life. With raw honesty and humour, Yoga <\/em>gives us the self-portrait of a man struggling to live with himself and others, by one of our greatest and most surprising international writers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
