Transcendental Meditation research: Reduction in heart-related deaths has relevance for veterans
Operation Warrior Wellness Translate This Article
3 February 2012
Studies on cardiovascular disease show a number of beneficial effects of practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the US has provided over $26 million in grants to study these effects.
This research is now also drawing interest because of its relevance to veterans suffering from PTS (Post-Traumatic Stress). PTS is associated with greater risk of heart attacks.

∙ Reduction of atherosclerosis through Transcendental Meditation: More findings of importance for veterans
In a five-year study funded by NIH, 201 men and women (average age 59) with narrowing of cardiovascular arteries were randomly assigned to either a TM group or a control group.
The TM group experienced a 47 percent reduction in heart attacks, strokes, and mortality—with none of the negative side effects of antihypertensive medications. (Archives of Internal Medicine, in press)
