Description Hypertension (HTN) is a major public health problem and a leading cause of
newlinemorbidity and mortality worldwide. Autonomic dysfunction, poor mental health and cognitive
newlinedecline are frequently observed in HTN. Integrated Approach of Yoga Therapy (IAYT) is a
newlineresidential yoga based lifestyle intervention shown to be beneficial in several chronic health
newlineproblems.This study was intended to assess the impact of IAYT on cardiovascular
newlinevariables, mental health and cognitive function in hypertensive patients.Forty hypertensive subjects within age range 30-60 years (average age; 46.80±9.1
newlineyears) were considered for the study. Twenty subjects were included in IAYT group who
newlinereceived one week residential IAYT intervention consisted of sessions of yogasana practices,
newlinepranayama techniques, yoga based relaxation techniques, devotional sessions. Twenty
newlinesubjects in non-IAYT group followed their daily routines. All the subjects of both groups
newlinewere on regular anti-hypertensive medication. We excluded the subjects if they had; diabetes
newlinemellitus, resistant hypertension, secondary hypertension, recent surgery, pregnancy, under
newlineantipsychotic medication, severe cardiac disability. All the subjects were assessed for cardiac
newlinevariables (blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, baroreflex sensitivity, cardiac output, stroke
newlinevolume and total peripheral vascular resistance) mental health parameters (anxiety and
newlinedepression) and cognitive function (attention, concentration, processing speed, short term and
newlineworking memory) at the baseline and after one week, using standard assessment tools. Data
newlinewas analyzed using SPSS version 16. Within group and between group differences was
newlinecalculated by applying suitable statistical tests.
