Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Hypertensive African American men and women were tested at baseline for left ventricular mass index (LVMI) by M-mode echocardiography, blood pressure, lifestyle and behavioral factors. Subjects were randomly assigned to either TM or health education (HE) control. After six months intervention, 86 subjects were posttested on all outcomes. Data were analyzed for between-group and within-group differences.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Transcendental Meditation
The Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique is described as a simple, natural technique that is practiced twice a day for 20 minutes while sitting comfortably with eyes closed. There are no required changes in lifestyle, beliefs or philosophy. Instruction in the TM technique involves a seven-step course over five sessions (90-minute meetings).

meditation practice 20 minutes twice a day at home and attending classes at the clinic.
Health Education
The health education (HE) intervention provided behavioral instructions for CVD risk factor prevention . This group received written materials, structured presentations, didactic instructions and group support for modifying the major cardiovascular risk factors including salt restriction, weight reduction, aerobic exercise, alcohol and smoking cessation.
Health education control
didactic based classes in CVD risk factor reduction and prevention
