AB Coronary heart disease is one of the main causes of morbimortality around the world.Patients that survive a coronary event suffer a high risk of readmission, relapse and mortality,attributed to the sub-optimal control of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF), which highlights theneed to improve secondary prevention strategies aimed at improving their lifestyle and adherence totreatment. Through a randomized controlled clinical trial, this study aims to evaluate the effect ofan intervention involving an online health application supported by a mobile telephone or tablet(mHealth) on lifestyle (diet, physical activity, and tobacco consumption) and treatment adherenceamong people with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention. The sample willcomprise 240 subjects (120 in each arm: intervention and usual care). They are assessed immediatelyand nine months after their hospital discharge about sociodemographic, clinical, CVRF, lifestyle,and treatment adherence characteristics. The educative intervention, involving a follow-up andself-monitoring, will be performed using an online mHealth tool consisting of an application formobile phones and tablets. The quantitative primary outcomes from the two groups will be comparedusing an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) adjusted for age and gender. A multivariate analysiswill be performed to examine the association of the intervention with lifestyle habits, the controlof CVRFs, and outcomes after discharge in terms of the use of health services, emergency visits,cardiovascular events and readmissions.
