PLATFORM to Maximize Patient Knowledge of Health Goals After Acute Myocardial Infarction
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Acute Myocardial Infarction
In brief
The goals of this study are two fold: 1) To learn whether a personalized patient health goal and reminder tool helps patients to learn more about their condition and to make changes in behavior and medication taking to reduce the risk of another heart attack. 2) To examine a blood sample to learn how patients are responding to their medications. The study team will enroll approximately 220 patients in the hospital recovering from a heart attack. Half of the patients will receive the educational tools and a copy will be sent to their outpatient provider.
