Does mental relaxation induced by hypnosis modulate the effect of mental stress on ventricular repolarization in healthy volunteers?
Mental relaxation induced by hypnosis reduces the adverse effects of mental stress on ventricular repolarization inhomogeneity, suggesting a potential mechanism for modulating arrhythmogenesis.
Taggart et al. (2005) studied this question.
