Chapter 8: Reversal of Severe Cardiovascular Disease, Coronary Atherosclerosis, and Hypertension

Mrs. Lin (67), Retired University Professor.

“Living with three coronary stents and daily angina felt like carrying a ticking time bomb. Cultivation dissolved both the vascular blockages and my lifelong anxiety.”

1. A Decade of Cardiovascular Crisis

Suffering from severe triple-vessel coronary artery disease, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (EF 32%), and refractory hypertension (190/115 mmHg), Mrs. Lin required daily nitroglycerin and lived in constant fear of sudden cardiac arrest.

2. Letting Go of Stress and Practicing the Exercises

Learning the slow, graceful movements of Falun Dafa and practicing the sitting meditation, she learned to let go of academic perfectionism, competition, and resentment. Within several weeks, her chest tightness disappeared and her blood pressure stabilized at 120/80 mmHg.

3. Sustained Cardiovascular Health

Echocardiograms performed two years later revealed ejection fraction normalized to 60%, with complete absence of myocardial ischemia. At age 67, she walks up hills briskly without shortness of breath.
