About

The treatment of acute myocardial infarction (MI) in Poland is at the level of standardized European care. However, the first months after MI are crucial from the perspective of patient's prognosis. It is extremely important to take care of all cardiovascular risk factors.

Mobile application (afterAMI) supported by web system is a novel telemedical tool created to support patient and physician during the process of cardiac rehabilitation. The application has educational model with focus on cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle after MI. Moreover, there is a module to control vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, weight and many others. Additionally, application will send reminders for better drug adherence.

100 patients will be recruited to take part in the study. All of which will be hospitalized at the 1st Department and Clinic of Cardiology because of the MI. The aim of the project is to study the impact of application-supported model of care with comparison to standard care. At the end of the study cardiovascular risk factors control will be analysed, as well as rehospitalizations, patient's knowledge regarding risk factors, return to work and quality of life.

This will be a prospective, open-label, randomized, single-centre study. All 100 patients will be observed 6 months after discharge from the hospital. End points will be assessed during control visit 1- and 6-months after inclusion into the study.

This project is an example of a telemedicine solution application into everyday practice, which is consistent with multiple international cardiac societies.

---

100 participants in 2 patient groups

Standard care

No Intervention group

Description:

Patients randomized to standard care arm will take part in the rehabilitation program according to regular schedule. Additionally every patient will have 2 cardiological visits: 1 and 6 months after the hospitalization due to MI.

Mobile app care

Experimental group

Description:

Patients randomized to standard care arm will take part in the rehabilitation program according to regular schedule. Additionally every patient will have 2 cardiological visits: 1 and 6 months after the hospitalization due to MI. On top of that every patient will be given an access to mobile application, which will support rehab process. The application stands as a educational and coordination tool.

Treatment:

Behavioral: Mobile application (afterAMI)
