NCT ID NCT04505865

Summary

This study is testing whether an 8-week mindfulness and stress reduction program can reduce inflammation in the arteries of people with stable heart disease. Researchers will use PET and MRI scans to measure artery inflammation before and after the program in 36 adults who report feeling stressed. The goal is to see if managing stress can help control the underlying inflammation that worsens heart disease.
