Abstract
Background: Hypertension became one of the significant health problem and a most common risk factor for Cardiovascular Disease. Objectives: The present study was aimed to find out the effect of two months practice of SKY in maintaining lipid profile and blood pressure among hypertensive patients. Materials and Methods: The present study was carried out at MNR Medical college and hospital situated in Sangareddy, Telangana. The 50 study subjects selected from the medicine ward of MNR Medical College, during the period from January 2017 to June 2017. Results: Significant decrease in SBP, DBP, total cholesterol, LDL, and a significant increase in HDL, and non significant changes in triglycerides and VLDL in hypertensive cases. Conclusion: SKY showed a significant statistical decrease in the values of lipid profile and blood pressure among hypertensive patients compared with normotensive subjects. So SKY appears to be a cost-effective alternative technique for controlling BP and improving lipid profile among hypertensive patients.
