Results indicated that patients who liked the fragrance and inhaled heliotropin during the MRI felt a significant decrease in anxiety (63%). Those not receiving the heliotropin did not have a decrease in anxiety. The fragrance had no effect on pulse or blood pressure. This is not strictly aromatherapy, because the vanilla-like odor was synthetic and not derived from an aromatic plant. However, it is interesting to include. CONCLUSION Although there is some confusion concerning what aromatherapy really is, essential oils, when used clinically, have much to offer cardiology, whether as psychological support for fear and anxiety or to help reduce hypertension . For more information on clinical aromatherapy, please refer to Table 4.
