Yoga and Cardiovascular Management

This book compiles the discussions between Swami Satyananda Saraswati and a group of French medical experts, physicians and yoga teachers who shared their views on Yoga and Medical Management of Cardiovascular Disease at Tenon Hospital, Paris in September 1981. A yogi discusses the whole range of heart and vascular diseases plus the relevant co-existing diseases like diabetes mellitus and pulmonary disorders from the modern scientific as well as yogic viewpoints. Covered are the causes, patho-physiology and management of cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, cardiac arrhythmia, stroke, cerebral degenerative diseases, peripheral vascular disease and arteriosclerosis, followed by the yogic explanation and in-depth yogic management with scientific back-up. The research data was correlated by an Australian doctor and the scientific disposition and language make the book ideal for both medical scientists and lay people alike.
