Results: Results were analysed and statistically treated paired ‘t’ test was applied between pre shavasana¸ and post shavasana values. It was found that there was reduction in basal HR, BP and RPP after shavasana training. And also after three months of shavasana
ABSTRACT
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) results from imbalance between oxygen supply and demand of the heart. Myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO ) is a good 2 indicator of the response of the coronary circulation to increased myocardial oxygen demand. Direct measurement of MVO is difficult in routine clinical 2 practice but it can be easily calculated by indirect methods like Rate Pressure Product (RPP) analysis. The internal myocardial work performed is represented by RPP and external myocardial work performed is generally expressed as stages of exercise.
Objective of the study: The objective of this study was to study rate pressure product in middle aged with non specific chest pain to isotonic exercise.
Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective cross sectional study carried out in the Department of Medicine, JSS Hospital, Mysore. The study group comprised of 43 patients in the age group of 40-50 years with a history of nonspecific chest pain but normotensive, nondiabetic and with normal resting ECG. Standard Bruce protocol was followed. The patients were divided into two groups – Group A (35 patients with typical angina) and Group B (8 patients with atypical angina). Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 16.
Results: Mean RPP was decreased in patients with atypical angina (Group B) compared to patients with typical angina (Group A) (p < 0.05).
