Sponsor's own description

The recurrence of major cardiac events after infarction is very high, in some populations up to 20% in the first year. Optimal secondary prevention as organized in cardiac rehabilitation centers is effective in reducing both morbidity and mortality. However, many studies have shown that the participation and adherence rate in CR-programs is low in most European countries. Therefore, novel ways of delivering secondary prevention using information technology and self-monitoring are being explored. Hence, this study will investigate the effectiveness of a mobile, patient tailored, app based multidisciplinary telerehabilitation program (HeartHab app) in improving exercise capacity, lifestyle and risk factors in patients with coronary artery disease in a post-rehabilitation setting.
