Here, we report the findings of a study to investigate the effectiveness of yoga therapy in lowering blood pressure (BP) in prehypertensive and hypertensive individuals. Methods: This was a single center, nonrandomized controlled clinical trial, of 200 hypertensives and 100 prehypertensives patients. The control group received the prescribed antihypertensive and lifestyle modification while the yoga group was additionally taught simple yogic exercise by a trained yoga teacher. This training included intensive supervised phase 2-h training sessions in Ujjayi breathing, Bhastrika Pranayama and chanting of “Om” for 10 lessons, followed by self-performed yogic exercise at home for 1 h till the end of study at 1 year. Results: The systolic BP (SBP) in the hypertensive yoga group was significantly lower (t = 3.04, P < 0.01) than the control group at 6 months, but not so at 1 year (SBP t = 0.53, P > 0.05). In the prehypertensive participants, at 6 months (t = 5.85, P = 0.00), and 1 year (t = 6.385, P < 0.05) a significant difference was observed between SBP of the two groups However, no significant difference was observed between the diastolic BP among hypertensives or prehypertensives at 6 months and 1 year. Conclusion: Our present study indicates that yoga therapy is a viable adjunct to pharmacological intervention to reduce SBP in the management of hypertension and prehypertension and that yoga should be incorporated in the treatment regime of such patients, specifically for individuals who have prehypertension.","PeriodicalId":17503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"53 - 59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49411069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective is to understand the pathophysiology of cardiac fibrosis and the quest for serum biomarkers that will assist in early diagnosis before the occurrence of major cardiac events. There are many serum biomarkers that get elevated highlighting ECM remodeling during cardiac fibrosis. Lysyl oxidase like -2 is one such ECM protein, plays a crucial role in the up-regulation of TGF - β, the transformation of cardiac fibroblast to myoblast, the migration of collagen, and cross-linking of collagen and elastin. However, assessment of lysyl oxidase like-2 (LOXL-2) in different pathologically driven cardiac fibrosis is limited. Also, none of the serum biomarkers has proved to be the most accurate diagnostic tool for assessing fibrosis independently; hence, meticulous, less invasive, and cost-effective serum biomarkers need to be scrutinized. Hence lysyl oxidase Like-2 (LOXL-2) in combination with other serum biomarkers like PICP/PINP/TIMP-1/ST-2, or Galectin-3 can be combined to assess the presence of fibrosis in the heart. This review includes the journal, articles, and research paper on cardiac fibrosis which was published in the last 10–15 years to highlight the huge gap in the treatment of cardiac fibrosis and the need for a new combination of biomarkers with better prognostic and diagnostic value.","PeriodicalId":17503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"24 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48507282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various parameters have been used as prognostic markers in advanced HF. This study highlights about the comparative analysis of different prognostic markers in predicting mortality in advanced HF. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in patients of advanced HF admitted to the department of medicine intensive care unit in a rural tertiary care hospital from 2018 to 2020. Advanced HF was diagnosed using the updated HF Association-European Society of Cardiology criteria. The serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), six-minute walk test (6MWT), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), estimated glomerular filtration rate, and glycosylated hemoglobin type A1c levels were measured on admission. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was also studied for the above-mentioned variables, and the area under ROC curve (AUROC) was also determined. Results: Seventy-five patients with an average age of 60.55 ± 14.04 years were evaluated. Out of 75, 48 (64%) were male and 27 (36%) were female. There was inhospital mortality in 20 (26.67%) patients. The mean NT-proBNP levels among the mortality group was 9826.95 ± 3485.10 pg/mL, while in nonmortality group, it was 6135.40 ± 2342.77 pg/mL (P = 0.001). The cutoff range in this study for on-admission serum NT-proBNP levels was 8990 pg/mL, with AUROC of 0.81, the sensitivity of 70.0%, and specificity of 90.9%. In multiple regression analysis keeping mortality as the dependent variable, it was seen that variables NT-proBNP, 6MWT (<300 m), and LVEF were significantly associated with mortality. Conclusion: Serum NT-proBNP and 6MWT (<300 m) were important predictors of mortality in advanced HF.","PeriodicalId":17503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"46 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42178031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Caregivers are essential and play an important role in bridging the gap in providing care to HF patients. Caregivers' demanding and difficult roles can result in a significant burden, which may lead to stress and symptoms of depression. Aim and Objectives: The objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of structured counseling on caregiver burden, stress, and depression among caregivers of HF patients. Materials and Methods: Sixty caregivers of patients with HF were selected using consecutive sampling and divided into control and experimental groups. A one-on-one, 30-min structured counseling session was delivered telephonically to caregivers of HF patients. A pretest was taken before the intervention and posttest 1 month later, through telephone, on caregiver burden, stress, and depression using the caregiver burden interview, Perceived Stress Scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Results: The experimental group showed a significant reduction in caregiver burden (P = 0.001), stress (P = 0.001), and depression (P = 0.001) scores at 1 month. Female caregivers showed a significantly higher caregiver burden (P = 0.046) and depression (P = 0.019), and nuclear families showed a significantly higher caregiver burden (P = 0.016) and depression (P = 0.027). There was a significant positive correlation between stress and the presence of comorbidities (P = 0.021) and depression and the presence of comorbidities (P = 0.042). Conclusions: Structured counseling was effective in reducing caregiver burden and decreasing stress and depression in caregivers of HF patients.","PeriodicalId":17503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136217715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
