For patients who have suffered from acute myocardial infarction (AMI), it is important to prevent further heart attacks, by controlling risk factors, for instance. Our study demonstrated that everyday care in such patients may be improved with a novel telemedicine solution.Supporting standard rehabilitation through the use of a dedicated mobile appa simple and harmless toolresulted in better control of cardiovascular disease risk factors such as LDLcholesterol level and blood pressure. Moreover, it was noted that a majority of the patients were able to use the mobile app and were eager to benefit from it. These results may contribute to telemedicine being introduced into standard medical practice and to improved care for post-AMI patients.

Cardiac rehabilitation after acute myocardial infarction is crucial and improves patients’ prognosis. It aims to optimize cardiovascular risk factors’ control. Providing additional support via mobile applications has been previously suggested. However, data from prospective, randomized trials evaluating digital solutions are scarce. In this study, we aimed to evaluate a mobile application—afterAMI—in the clinical setting and to investigate the impact of a digitally-supported model of care in comparison with standard rehabilitation. A total of 100 patients after myocardial infarction were enrolled. Patients were randomized into groups with either a rehabilitation program and access to afterAMI or standard rehabilitation alone. The primary endpoint was rehospitalizations and/or urgent outpatient visits after 6 months. Cardiovascular risk factors’ control was also analyzed. Median age was 61 years; 65% of the participants were male. This study failed to limit the number of primary endpoint events (8% with app vs. 27% without app; p = 0.064). However, patients in the interventional group had lower NT-proBNP levels (p = 0.0231) and better knowledge regarding cardiovascular disease risk factors (p = 0.0009), despite no differences at baseline. This study showcases how a telemedical tool can be used in the clinical setting.
