ÖZET
 Kardiyovasküler hastalıklar (KVH); dünya çapında morbidite, engellilik, iş gücü kaybı ve mortalitenin önde gelen nedenleri arasında yer almaktadır. Oluşumunda birçok risk faktörü tanımlanmasına karşın en sık karşımıza çıkan faktörler; hipertansiyon, hiperlipidemi, hiperglisemi, obezite ve anksiyete-depresyondur. Primer ve sekonder korunmada çeşitli yöntemlerin etkileri gösterilmekle birlikte KVH'nin yönetiminde en etkili yaklaşımın, sağlıklı bir yaşam şekli (sigarayı bırakma, fiziksel aktivite düzeyini artırma ve sağlıklı beslenme gibi) ve stres yönetimini içeren yaklaşım olduğu gösterilmiştir. Stres yönetimi ve egzersizi temel alan yaklaşımlardan birisi de yogadır. Kalp yogası; psikososyal semptomları azaltmanın yanı sıra kardiyovasküler ve bilişsel fonksiyonları geliştiren dengeli bir fiziksel egzersiz olarak tanımlanmakta, nefes kontrolü ve meditasyon uygulamasını içermektedir. Yogadaki hafif egzersizler, kasları güçlendirmekte; nefes teknikleri, miyokardın oksijenasyonunu sağlamakta; meditasyon da stresi azaltmaktadır. Aynı zamanda yoga egzersizleri; lipid düzeylerinin, kan glukozu ve basıncının daha iyi kontrol edilmesine yardımcı olmaktadır. Antihipertansif kullanımını da azaltan yoganın tüm bu etkileri; stres hormonu olan adrenalini azaltıp, mutluluk hormonu olan endorfini artırmasının bir sonucudur. Bu derlemenin amacı; hemşirelerde kalp yogası kavramını tanımlayarak bir farkındalık oluşturmak, güncel araştırma bulguları ile kalp yogasının iyileştirici gücü ve mucizevi etkilerinden yani yararlarından bahsetmek, yogayı tamamlayıcı ve bütünleyici bir yaklaşım ve egzersiz türü olarak KVH'nin bakım sürecine entegre etmektir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Kardiyovasküler hastalık; kalp yogası; hemşirelik
ABSTRACT
 Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are among the leading causes of morbidity, disability, workforce loss and mortality worldwide. Although many risk factors are involved in the development of CVD, the most frequently encountered ones are hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, obesity and anxiety-depression. Various methods have been indicated to play a role in primary and secondary prevention, the most effective one is the approach involving a healthy lifestyle (quitting smoking, increasing the level of physical activity and healthy diet) and stress management. One of the approaches based on stress management and exercise is yoga. Heart yoga is defined as a balanced physical exercise that not only reduces psychosocial symptoms but also improves cardiovascular and cognitive functions. It includes breath control and meditation practices. In yoga, light exercises strengthen muscles, breathing techniques contribute to myocardial oxygenation, and meditation reduces stress. Yoga exercises also help to better control lipid levels, blood glucose and pressure levels. All of these effects of yoga, which also reduces antihypertensive use, are due to its effect which reduces the level of adrenaline, the stress hormone and increases the level of endorphin hormone which makes you feel happy. The purpose of this review article is to create nurses' awareness of the concept of heart yoga, to introduce the healing powers and miraculous effects of, in other words benefits of heart yoga, and to integrate yoga in the healthcare of patients with CVD as a complementary and integrative health approach and exercise.
