We present the case of a 27-year-old woman who has successfully self-managed her supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) episodes since her teenage years using the Child's Pose, a technique adapted from yoga. This non-pharmacological approach enabled her to independently terminate SVT episodes, a capability confirmed in a controlled clinical setting where the patient's return to sinus rhythm was immediately achieved upon assuming the pose. The Child's Pose represents a solitary and patient-empowering intervention, contrasting with the assistance-dependent modified Valsalva manoeuvre. This case demonstrates the potential for yoga-influenced practices in the personalized management of cardiac arrhythmias.
我们介绍了一名27岁女性的病例,自青少年时期以来,她一直使用从瑜伽改编而来的儿童姿势成功自我管理室上性心动过速(SVT)发作。这种非药物方法使她能够独立终止SVT发作,这一能力在对照临床环境中得到证实,即患者在摆出该姿势后立即恢复窦性心律。儿童姿势是一种独立且赋予患者力量的干预措施,与依赖辅助的改良瓦尔萨尔瓦动作形成对比。该病例证明了受瑜伽影响的练习在心律失常个性化管理中的潜力。
