ÖZET
 Kardiyovasküler hastalıklar; kalp ve damar sistemini etkileyen hipertansiyon, koroner arter hastalığı, inme ve aritmiler gibi bir dizi sağlık sorununu ifade etmektedir. Kardiyovasküler hastalıklar, tüm dünyada erişkin mortalite ve morbidite sebeplerinin başında yer almaktadır. Küresel mortalite ve morbiditenin önemli bir kısmından tek başına kardiyovasküler hastalıkların sorumlu olması, kapsamlı önleme, erken teşhis ve tedavi stratejilerine olan acil ihtiyacın en büyük göstergesidir. Dünya nüfusu yaşlandıkça kardiyovasküler hastalıkların görülme sıklığı da artmaktadır. Ayrıca; kardiyovasküler hastalıkların tedavisi ve yönetimi hem bireylerin hem de sağlık sistemlerinin ekonomik yükünü de artırmaktadır. İlaç maliyetleri, cerrahi müdahaleler ve uzun süreli bakım, ciddi ekonomik kayıplara neden olmaktadır. Teknoloji ve tıp alanındaki ilerlemeler tüm dünya ülkelerini, erişkin sağlığını büyük ölçüde etkileyen bu krize çözüm aramaya zorlamaktadır. Dolayısıyla; her geçen gün tamamlayıcı ve integratif yöntemlere olan ilgi de artmaktadır. Tamamlayıcı ve integratif yöntemler, geleneksel yöntemlerin yanında veya birleştirilmiş bir şekilde kullanılan yaklaşımlardır. Bu yöntemlerle kişinin bireyselliği ve tercihlerine odaklanarak tedavi planı kişiselleştirilebilmektedir. Geleneksel tıp ve de tamamlayıcı ve integratif tıp yöntemlerinin bir araya getirilmesiyle, bireylerin genel sağlığının artırılması, hastalıkların tedavisi veya semptomların hafifletilmesi hedeflenmektedir. Kardiyovasküler hastalık yönetiminde kullanılan tamamlayıcı ve integratif tıp uygulamaları; stresi azaltmaya, kan basıncını düşürmeye ve genel zihinsel sağlığı iyileştirmeye yardımcı olabilmektedir. Yapılan birçok çalışmada, kardiyovasküler hastalığı olan bireylerin en fazla kullandığı uygulamaların omega-3 yağ asitleri gibi bitkisel ürünler; osteopati, kayropraktik ve masaj gibi zihin-beden uygulamaları olduğu belirtilmiştir. Bu çalışmada; kardiyovasküler hastalıklarda sık kullanılan tamamlayıcı ve integratif tıp yöntemleri ve etkileri irdelenmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Tamamlayıcı ve integratif; kardiyovasküler hastalıklar; masaj, kayropraktik, akupresur, osteopatik manipülasyon
ABSTRACT
 Cardiovascular diseases refer to a range of health problems affecting the cardiovascular system, including hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke and arrhythmias. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of adult mortality and morbidity worldwide. The fact that cardiovascular diseases alone account for a significant proportion of global mortality and morbidity is a major indicator of the urgent need for comprehensive prevention, early detection and treatment strategies. As the world population ages, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases is increasing. Moreover, the treatment and management of cardiovascular diseases increases the economic burden on both individuals and health systems. Drug costs, surgical interventions and longterm care cause serious economic losses. Advances in technology and medicine are forcing countries around the world to seek solutions to this crisis, which has a major impact on adult health. Therefore, interest in complementary and integrative methods is increasing day by day. Complementary and integrative methods are approaches that are used alongside or in combination with traditional methods. With these methods, the treatment plan can be personalized by focusing on the individuality and preferences of the person. By combining traditional medicine and complementary and integrative medicine methods, the aim is to improve the overall health of individuals, treat diseases or alleviate symptoms. Complementary and integrative medicine practices used in cardiovascular disease management can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure and improve overall mental health. In many studies, it has been reported that the most commonly used applications of individuals with cardiovascular disease are herbal products such as omega-3 fatty acids; mind-body applications such as osteopathy, chiropractic and massage. In this study; complementary and integrative medicine methods commonly used in cardiovascular diseases and their effects were examined.

Keywords: Complementary and integrative; cardiovascular diseases; massage, chiropractic, acupressure, osteopathic manipulation
