Meditation to CV Risk-Reduction Strategies
Overall, studies of meditation suggest a possible benefit on cardiovascular risk, although the overall quality and, in some cases, quantity of study data are modest," the writing group says. More specifically, meditation may be associated with decreased levels of stress, anxiety, and depression and improved quality of sleep and overall well-being, they note.
Meditation may also help lower blood pressure, although there is insufficient evidence to determine whether or how much meditation may lower blood pressure in a given individual, the group says.
The data also suggest that meditation may help individuals quit smoking and might be associated with a decreased risk of MI, although the studies on this were limited and more studies are needed before any conclusions can be made, the group says.
"I found the results of our analyses encouraging in that regular meditation may decrease cardiovascular risk," a Dr. said, "although clearly more research is needed before any definitive conclusions may be made.
"Our message to patients and practitioners is that standard, guideline-directed lifestyle and medicinal interventions remain the primary way to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease, but for those interested in regular meditation, at this time this seems a reasonable adjunctive lifestyle modification," Dr. said.
"Future studies, to the degree possible, should utilize randomized study design, be adequately powered to meet the primary study outcome, strive to achieve low dropout rates, include long-term follow-up, and be performed by those without inherent bias in outcome," the writing group concludes.
