 Clinical trials of a program developed by Dean Ornish, MD determined that heart disease could not only be prevented, but reversed. Patients in these
trials modified their lifestyle and behaviors to include a low-fat plant-based whole foods diet, exercise, stress reduction/yoga and group support.
Multiple projects with heart patients showing:
- More than 90% reduction in angina
- More than 50% improvement in exercise capacity
- Improvements in blood flow to heart muscle
- Improvements in heart muscle function
Multiple projects with heart patients showing:
- Randomized controlled trial of patients with severe coronary heart disease (CAD) with a duration of five years
- 99% of patients stopped or reversed the progression of disease - measured by PET scan
- Percent of artery narrowing improved in the experimental group and worsened in the control group
- Total cardiac events - 2.5 times greater in the control group than in the experimental group
