Abstract in brief
- The study found that practicing Transcendental Meditation (TM) significantly reduced the risk of death, heart attacks, and strokes in Black patients with coronary heart disease, with a nearly 50% reduction in the primary combined outcome over about 5 years.
- TM was also associated with reductions in blood pressure and feelings of anger, indicating improvements in stress and emotional health, which are linked to heart disease risk.
- The results suggest that TM could be a useful complementary approach in preventing further cardiovascular issues in at-risk populations, especially those experiencing high levels of stress.
