A systematic review and meta-analysis of mindfulness-based interventions for patients with coronary heart disease.

This review offers preliminary evidence for the potential of mindfulness-based interventions as an effective complementary approach to addressing psychological distress among people with coronary heart disease. Given the limitations in current studies, further rigorously designed and well-reported research is necessary to give robust evidence. Studies exploring the intervention effects on cardiovascular risk factors and quality of life are warranted to remedy the research and knowledge gap.
