Stress is inevitable, and it has many negative consequences on the health of everybody, but particularly on the health of patients with a cardiovascular disease (CVD). The good news is that patients with CVD can learn to better control their stress through stress management programs. Most stress management programs are offered face-to-face by a trained health care professional. Research has shown that these programs have a positive impact on the health of patients with CVD, including reducing mortality and other risk factors that can make the disease worse (e.g., reduces blood pressure). Because of these benefits, the recommendation is to offer a stress management program to as many patients with CVD as possible. The problem is that their delivery is challenging for most clinics (e.g., too costly to run, health care professionals are not available). This means many good stress management programs never make it to the patient. Patients also face barriers in accessing traditional stress management programs such as stigma or need to travel. Therefore, new approaches are needed to allow findings from research to actually have an impact on the public's health.
