Kind: research · Impact: medium

## In brief

- A randomized trial in India found that yoga-based cardiac rehabilitation did not change cardiac outcomes in people with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
- The yoga program produced large improvements in exercise capacity and quality of life.

## Why it matters

Yoga-based rehabilitation can improve how patients feel and function, but this trial did not show it improves heart outcomes, so clinicians should not expect it to replace standard cardiac rehabilitation on that basis.
