“…Few studies have focused on patients with CVD. In a study of 60 patients recruited from a private cardiology clinic, those randomized to 8 weeks of mindfulness‐based stress reduction (primarily using meditation techniques) had significantly lower perceived stress and anger than a comparison control group. Similarly, a study of 59 elderly participants with stage I hypertension randomized to Zen meditation (20 minutes twice daily for 3 months) or a wait list found that meditation significantly improved psychological facets of and overall quality of life…”

Despite numerous advances in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Novel and inexpensive interventions that can contribute to the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease are of interest. Numerous studies have reported on the benefits of meditation. Meditation instruction and practice is widely accessible and inexpensive and may thus be a potential attractive cost‐effective adjunct to more traditional medical therapies. Accordingly, this American Heart Association scientific statement systematically reviewed the data on the potential benefits of meditation on cardiovascular risk. Neurophysiological and neuroanatomical studies demonstrate that meditation can have long‐standing effects on the brain, which provide some biological plausibility for beneficial consequences on the physiological basal state and on cardiovascular risk. Studies of the effects of meditation on cardiovascular risk have included those investigating physiological response to stress, smoking cessation, blood pressure reduction, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, endothelial function, inducible myocardial ischemia, and primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Overall, studies of meditation suggest a possible benefit on cardiovascular risk, although the overall quality and, in some cases, quantity of study data are modest. Given the low costs and low risks of this intervention, meditation may be considered as an adjunct to guideline‐directed cardiovascular risk reduction by those interested in this lifestyle modification, with the understanding that the benefits of such intervention remain to be better established. Further research on meditation and cardiovascular risk is warranted. Such studies, to the degree possible, should utilize randomized study design, be adequately powered to meet the primary study outcome, strive to achieve low drop‐out rates, include long‐term follow‐up, and be performed by those without inherent bias in outcome.

“…Three studies reported attrition; Momeni et al. () had 5% attrition within the whole sample, the three participants that dropped out were no longer interested or had health problem; Blom et al. () reported a 14% attrition within the whole sample and 8% in the MBSR intervention because they were lost to follow‐up or dropped out in the post‐test, and a 28% in the 12‐week follow‐up due to complications, change in treatment, or lost to follow‐up.…”

“…Certaines s'appuient beaucoup sur un travail corporel (relaxation corporelle, techniques de respiration, sophrologie, training autogène) ;d 'autres sont plus psychiques (hypnose ericksonnienne, thérapies cognitivo-comportementales ou TCC, méditation en pleine conscience) ;e n fi n, certaines sont mixtes comme la cohérence cardiaque ou l'EMDR (Eyes Motion Desensitization and Reprocessing). Les thérapies curatives les mieux validées sont les TCC [70][71][72][73], la méditation en pleine conscience [74,75] et l'EMDR, particulièrement dans la prise en charge du syndrome de stress post-traumatique [76].…”

RésuméLe corps et l'esprit sont intimement liés. Les relations entre coeur et cerveau sont très fortes. La naissance de la psychocardiologie apparaîtc omme une évidence. Le stress psychosocial est à la fois un facteur de risque indépendant et un facteur pronostic d'événements cardiovasculaires. Il comprend des aspects psychologiques, des composantes sociologiques et socio-économiques. Il apparaîta ussi que la maladie cardiaque est elle-même un événement déclenchant de stress psychosocial.Les recommandations européennes sont de grade 1A pour l'évaluation du risque psychosocial et de grade 1B pour la prise en charge.Les connaissances actuelles sur le développement cérébral permettent de mieux comprendre la relation qui existe entre le stress psychosocial et le risque cardiovasculaire. Le risque psychosocial augmente les facteurs de risque classiques et entraîne par ailleurs une dysfonction endothéliale, une réponse inflammatoire et une activation de la coagulation.Les anxiolytiques et les antidépresseurs ne sont pas très efficaces dans la prise en charge du stress psychosocial, en revanche l'activité physique et les psychothérapies sont plus indiquées en particulier les thérapies cognitivo-comportementales, les thérapies de la pleine conscience et la thérapie EMDR.Depuis qu'il a été proposéàla find es années 70, le modèle biopsychosocial ne cesse d'accumuler des preuves de sa pertinence. Les recherches en médecine psychosomatique ,e nc ardiologie et en psychologie de la santé ont permis de faire en sorte que la psychocardiologie devienne une nouvelle spécialité fondées ur l'evidence based medicine. Il reste maintenant à faire en sorte que ces connaissances puissent être transmises aux praticiens et qu'ils puissent inclure cet aspect dans leur pratique quotidienne.
