Tadasana yoga maneuver is beneficial for preventing recurrences in vasovagal syncope

Reserchers from KIMS hospital, Hyderabad have recently shown the benefits of yoga for vasovagal syncope (VVS) patients. In their pilot study published in JACC Clinical Electrophysiology, authors have shown that Tadasana as an adjunctive therapy is associated with fewer total event recurrences (ie, syncope and near-syncope combined). This maneuver which closely resembles the isometric component of standing training (also known as tilt-training), is helpful to prevent VVS.

Vasovagal syncope (VVS), is the most frequent cause of syncope in all age groups, and no treatment is certain in terms of effectiveness. Yoga is a mind-body practice that causes modulation of the autonomic nervous system and is increasingly being introduced as an adjunctive therapy in the management of cardiovascular disorders.
