Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week mindfulness meditation program (MBSR) can reduce anxiety and depression in heart patients who have completed cardiac rehab. About 74 participants will either take the meditation course or continue with standard rehab. Researchers will measure changes in mood, quality of life, and medication adherence over the medium and long term.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) meditation program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer heart patients a drug-free way to manage anxiety and depression after cardiac rehab, improving their quality of life and treatment adherence.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (74 participants) in France, so results may not apply broadly. The meditation program requires daily practice, which some patients may find difficult to maintain.
