Does meditation help with arteries and heart disease ?
16 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Cause/Effect- No BUT: ....plenty of association studies exist which have shown that people who practice transcendental meditation do have less arteriosclerotic changes, have lower blood pressures, and more efficient pumping actions of their heart. No less an organization than the American Heart Association states that practicing meditation can reduce risk of heart disease.

Cardiologist: Herbert Benson has a book called The "Relaxation Response" wherein he teaches a very simple form of meditation. Please stay in touch w/your doc but consider using this as well. Peace and good health.
