Study Summary
This is a trial to examine the effects of meditation on the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias and the psychological profiles in patients with implanted cardiac defibrillators. We wish to test the following hypotheses: 1. Vipassana meditation reduces the incidence of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias in patients with congestive heart failure. 2. Vipassana meditation improves the psychological profile in patients with CHF. In this study, subjects meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be recruited into the study after obtaining informed consent. The subjects will then be randomized into either an experimental group ( Meditation) or into a control group (usual care).
