Brief Summary: This study will be a pilot prospective randomized study using a peer mentor with or without Transcendental Meditation as compared to usual care for men and women with a new diagnosis of coronary artery disease CAD The study is designed to explore between cohort comparisons of perceived stress and a number of additional outcomes The results of this pilot study will be used in the design of larger future trials

The target population is adult men and women with a new diagnosis of CAD made on the basis of a myocardial infarction coronary revascularization procedure acute coronary syndrome or imaging test suggestive of CAD

The overall hypothesis of this proposal is that the addition of a peer mentor and training in Transcendental Meditation to usual care will improve perceived stress and medication adherence for men and women with newly diagnosed CAD as compared with usual care
Detailed Description: The overall hypothesis of this proposal is that the addition of a peer mentor and training in Transcendental Meditation to usual care will improve perceived stress and medication adherence for men and women with newly diagnosed CAD as compared with usual care

Participants will be randomized into one of two study groups
