A randomized controlled trial with 30 male coronary heart disease patients found that an 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program, compared with treatment as usual, significantly reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression, perceived stress, blood pressure, and body mass index. These improvements were maintained at a 3-month follow-up.
