Music therapy (MT) is a music intervention involving a credentialed professional and a client, which has gained increasing recognition in current practices as an adjunct therapy for various conditions, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). MT demonstrates notable physiological as well as psychological effects leading to lowered anxiety, depression, and systolic blood pressure in patients with CVDs as well as having effects on heart rate and heart rate variability in healthy subjects. MT emerges as a promising adjunct in the prevention and rehabilitation of CVDs and its holistic impact on physiological and psychological parameters underscores its potential as a noninvasive, cost-effective intervention. Existing literature shows heterogeneity in methods in the studies such as the genre and quality of music utilized as well outcomes. While further research is warranted to optimize protocols and assess long-term effects, the current evidence highlights MT's substantial benefits in cardiovascular health care, making it a promising asset in modern therapeutic approaches. This comprehensive review explores the multifaceted role of MT in CVDs, discussing its mechanisms and clinical applications.
