Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1.Male and female patients above 18years. Physician diagnosed heart failure patients based on ESC guidelines 2 Patients should be NYHA class II and or III 3 Willing and able to attend the complete hospital-based CR programme on their own Diagnosis of Heart Failure will be based on the European Society of Cardiology ESC Guidelines. The diagnosis of HF-REF requires three conditions to be satisfied 1 Symptoms typical of Heart Failure 2 Signs typical of Heart Failure 3 Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1 Comorbid disease or behavioural or other limitations that interferew ith performing Yoga training or prevent the completion of 1 year of exercise training 2 Elective Cardiovascular procedure or hospitalization planned in the coming 3 months 3 Currently pregnant or intend to become pregnant in the next year 4 Heart failure secondary to significant correctable/reversible cause like primary valvular disease or correctable congenital heart disease 5 Performance of exercise training/yoga at regular intervals (more than once per week) at a moderate-to-vigorous intensity at any time in the previous six weeks 6 Participation in other clinical trial

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Co-primary outcome -1 Major adverse cardiovascular events which is a composite of all-cause mortality, nonfatal stroke and all cause hospitalisations at a median follow-up of one year Co-primary outcome-2 Quality of life as assessed by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire MLHFQ at three months Timepoint: Co-primary outcome-1 Median follow-up of one year and Co-primary outcome-2 Three months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Global Longitudinal strain (GLS) 2. Left Ventriculo-arterial coupling – Left VA coupling 3. Right Ventriculo-arterial coupling – Right VA coupling 4. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%) 5. Left Venricular Ejection Time 6. Tei Index.Timepoint: We will assess the outcomes at baseline, three months to immediately after the completion of the intensive phase of the intervention and at 12 months to look at the longterm changes
