Post-cardiac event patients who have been referred to a Cardiac Rehab program often find that they are being asked to wait before a position becomes available in the CR program. In some programs this may involve a waiting period of several weeks. At the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine Cardia Rehab program the waiting period is typically 3 weeks, or slighly more. During this period, many patients find that their stress and anxiety levels in reaction to their recent cardiac event remain untreated. It is this group of patients the investigators aim to enroll into the research study to determine whether 6 healing touch treatments during a waiting period of 3 weeks will decrease their stress and anxiety before entering the cardiac rehab program. Moreover, the investigators will follow the patients through CR and determine whether the pre-program HT treatments improve the patient's overall physical outcomes measures.
