Cardiovascular functions are controlled by neural factors, temperature, hormones, etc., Of these, neural factors primarily concern the autonomic nervous system, which plays a major role in maintaining and regulating cardiac functions, e.g., blood pressure and heart rate. is one of the most important yogic practices. There are various review articles on Yoga and its effects but, though is a part of yoga, there is lack of review articles. To the best of our knowledge there is no known review article on effect of various on cardiovascular and autonomic variables. To provide a general overview about the effect of various (breathing techniques) on cardiovascular and autonomic variables. A narrative review was performed based on the available scientific literature. An electronic data search was performed in Medline/PubMed database to review relevant articles, using keywords such as ", Yogic breathing techniques, Unilateral nostril breathing, Alternate nostril breathing, , and ". All the relevant articles published from 1988 to 06-04-2016 were included in this review. Slow type of yogic breathing technique was reported to produce beneficial effect on cardiovascular and autonomic variables while fast breathing techniques do not produce such effects. There is lack of consistency in the results of specific nostril yogic breathing techniques and the mechanisms behind the effects of various . This review suggests that different types of techniques produce different effects and the mechanisms behind these effects are not fully understood.
心血管功能受神经因素、温度、激素等控制。其中，神经因素主要涉及自主神经系统，它在维持和调节心脏功能（如血压和心率）方面发挥着主要作用。瑜伽是最重要的瑜伽练习之一。有各种关于瑜伽及其效果的综述文章，但是，尽管瑜伽是瑜伽的一部分，但缺乏综述文章。据我们所知，尚无关于各种瑜伽呼吸法对心血管和自主变量影响的已知综述文章。为了提供关于各种瑜伽呼吸法对心血管和自主变量影响的总体概述。基于现有科学文献进行了叙述性综述。在Medline/PubMed数据库中进行了电子数据搜索，以审查相关文章，使用了诸如“瑜伽呼吸法、单侧鼻孔呼吸、交替鼻孔呼吸”等关键词。本综述纳入了1988年至2016年4月6日发表的所有相关文章。据报道，缓慢类型的瑜伽呼吸法对心血管和自主变量产生有益影响，而快速呼吸法则不会产生此类效果。特定鼻孔瑜伽呼吸法的结果以及各种瑜伽呼吸法效果背后的机制缺乏一致性。本综述表明，不同类型的瑜伽呼吸法产生不同的效果，而这些效果背后的机制尚未完全理解。
