Mindfulness vs. heart plaque: can calming your mind clean your arteries?
NCT ID NCT04496947
Summary
This small pilot study is testing whether an 8-week stress reduction program can reduce inflammation in the arteries of adults who feel highly stressed. About 30 participants will be randomly assigned to either learn mindfulness and relaxation techniques or receive no intervention. The main goal is to see if the program lowers artery inflammation, measured by special PET/MRI scans taken before and after the program.
