Does listening to music improve cardiovascular health in patients with heart failure?
This paper proposes a conceptual framework for understanding the potential psychoneuroimmunoendocrinological benefits of music therapy in heart failure patients.
Framework for music's effects in heart failure is hypothesis-generating; prospective trials needed before any practice change.
Patients with heart failure have been traditionally treated with a pharmacology-based approach, diet, exercise, and rehabilitation for reducing symptoms, hospitalizations, and mortality. We have developed a solid conceptual framework for music listening-based protocols, showing how music may have a broad range of positive effects on cardiovascular health through psychoneuroimmunoendocrinological pathways.
