To study the effects of Transcendental Meditation on Coronary Heart Disease
Detailed Description:
Recent advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of acute cardiac events - specifically identification of the roles that arterial vasomotor dysfunction and autonomic nervous system imbalances play in the pathophysiologic cascade during such acute events - provides a platform for new mechanistic investigation of the interplay of psychosomatic stress and CHD coronary heart disease Preliminary evidence further suggests that Complementary and Alternative Medicine CAM practices such as the Transcendental Meditation TM technique can not only reduce stress but also reduce acute cardiac events in patients with CHD Based on these and related data we propose a randomized blinded controlled study of the effects of one CAM practice the TM technique compared to a control group on the primary outcomes of 1 arterial vasomotor dysfunction brachial artery reactivity 2 autonomic nervous system imbalances heart rate variability 3 transient myocardial ischemia ST-segment depression and 4 the secondary outcomes of psychological stress and quality of life anger hostility anxiety depression perceived health disease-specific symptoms and life stresssocial resources
