Read our Coronary Artery Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether two treatments together—a non-invasive arm cuff procedure called remote ischemic conditioning, combined with daily mindfulness meditation—can reduce serious heart problems in people with coronary artery disease who couldn't receive complete revascularization (reopening of all blocked arteries). You would receive either the real treatments or a control version, and researchers will track your heart health over time to see if the combination helps.
Many heart disease patients can't have all their blocked arteries opened during treatment, leaving them at risk for future heart problems. This trial is looking for ways to better protect these patients using techniques that may strengthen the heart and reduce stress—without additional surgery.

If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to receive either the real treatment or a control version. The real treatment involves wearing a special cuff on your arm that gently compresses and releases in cycles (6 minutes on, 4 minutes off) plus listening to guided mindfulness audio twice daily for about 30 minutes each. The control group receives a cuff that doesn't create real pressure and general health education audio instead. You'll visit the study team regularly and be monitored for heart events over about a year.
