Abstract

A slight reduction of blood pressure and pulse rate can reduce the risk of developing cardio vascular disease. Indian and western music have been considered among preventing programmes for time in order to reduce risk associated with cardio vascular disease. Therefore the aim of study is to describe the effect of listening hanuman chalisa music on systolic, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate in asymptomatic individuals MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty healthy MBBS subjects, aged 18 to 22years were seated in a comfortable sitting posture with spine straight, body relaxed. The music of hanuman chalisa plays for 10 minutes. Systolic, diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate is monitored before and after the intervention. Result - Statistically significant reduction in SBP (10.62 mmHg), DBP (3.91mmHg) and pulse rate (5.77per minute) were observed after listening to hanuman chalisa music (p value< 0.001). Conclusion- hanuman chalisa music may have a potential benefit in reducing blood pressure and can be used in cardio vascular disease preventive programmes. It helps to improve the quality of life as well as increased life expectancy of the patient.
