Abstract
Given the close link between cardiovascular disease and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it is appropriate to focus on the symptoms of PTSD throughout the cardiology care pathway. The aim of the study presented here, which involved 67 patients, was to integrate an intervention based on mindfulness meditation into a cardiovascular rehabilitation programme and then to assess its impact on the symptoms of PTSD.
