Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a 16 week mindfulness-based coaching program compared to a cardiovascular risk reduction education program. Both groups will undergo 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, along with assessments of psychological measures (see bellow) at study baseline, midpoint (8 weeks), and conclusion (16 weeks). In addition, both groups will also undergo 24-hour Holter monitoring assessments at study beginning and conclusion to assess possible episodes of atrial tachyarrhythmia during the assessed interval.
