Meditation Lowers Heart Attack Risk

In that atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United  States among African Americans, Robert Schneider, from the Institute for Natural Medicine and Prevention, studied 201 African American subjects (46% female, mean age 58) with documented coronary artery disease. Participants were engaged in either a program of Transcendental Meditation or health education (control option).
