Remote Digital Support for Cardiovascular Prevention Compared to Traditional In-Person Care For Adults Aged 40 to 75 with Cardiovascular Risk

What this Trial Is About

Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of illness and death globally. This research aims to compare the effectiveness and feasibility of a cardiovascular prevention program delivered remotely via a digital app against traditional in-person care. The study focuses on patients at cardiovascular risk to help reduce events and slow disease progression. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one using remote management through a digital application to collect follow-up information, and another receiving traditional in-person follow-up at a hospital. The intervention involves providing recommendations to patients and monitoring their health through these different care pathways. During the study, participants will be followed for up to 24 months with regular assessments. Researchers will measure blood pressure at 12 months and track cigarette use, body weight, and daily steps over 24 months. The study monitors adherence to the assigned care model and evaluates health outcomes at scheduled follow-up visits.
