The term "heart disease" is often used interchangeably with the term "cardiovascular disease." Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. Other heart conditions, such as those that affect your heart's muscle, valves or rhythm, also are considered forms of heart disease. Many forms of heart disease can be prevented or treated with healthy lifestyle choices.

Today high blood pressure or hypertension and coronary heart diseases have become more than just a chronic complaint. It has become a way of life dependent on regular medication and visits to doctors for routine check-ups.

It's always worth looking for new methods for treating a disease that's as widespread and serious as heart disease. The best way to look at those ideas is to assess them in clinical trials, so that there are a number of complementary and alternative methods and Yoga is one of them.
