Cardiovascular disease (CVD) poses a significant health challenge in both developing and developed nations, with unparalleled morbidity, mortality, and economic tolls. Primary prevention of CVD through lifestyle modifications has been emphasized to address this issue. Yoga, an ancient practice dating back thousands of years with roots in the Harappan and Mohenjo-Daro civilizations, offers a potential solution. Hatha yoga, which includes physical movements and breathing techniques, is the most commonly practiced form today. The health benefits of yoga have recently gained attention and are being researched globally. Yoga is beneficial in both primary and secondary prevention of diseases, particularly CVD and its risk factors. This review aims to explore the physiology of yoga, recent studies on its effect on the prevention and control of CVD, and the clinical implications of these findings.
心血管疾病（CVD）在发展中国家和发达国家都构成了重大的健康挑战，其发病率、死亡率和经济损失无与伦比。通过生活方式改变对心血管疾病进行一级预防已被强调以解决这一问题。瑜伽是一种可追溯到数千年前、起源于哈拉帕和摩亨佐 - 达罗文明的古老修行方式，它提供了一种潜在的解决方案。哈他瑜伽包括身体动作和呼吸技巧，是当今最常练习的形式。瑜伽对健康的益处最近受到关注并正在全球范围内进行研究。瑜伽在疾病的一级和二级预防中都有益处，尤其是对心血管疾病及其危险因素。本综述旨在探讨瑜伽的生理学、其对心血管疾病预防和控制作用的近期研究以及这些发现的临床意义。
