Brief Summary

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. In high-income countries, approximately seventy percent of cardiovascular diseases cases are attributable to modifiable risk factors, with metabolic risk factors (obesity, cholesterol) and tobacco use being the most closely associated. Secondary prevention of coronary disease is considered essential, since it has contributed significantly to the reduction of morbidity and mortality, by facilitating the adoption and adherence to healthy behaviors, promoting an active lifestyle, and increasing adherence to pharmacological treatment. Information and communication technologies have been increasingly incorporated into health care systems, including the innovative provision of Cardiac Rehabilitation through a mobile phone or m-health interventions. M-health technology can provide evidence-based guidance in an interactive format that is attractive, easy to use, and reduces healthcare costs. The objective of this study is to evaluate, through a randomized controlled clinical trial, the effect of an intervention based on a web application of health, mobile Health, on lifestyle (diet, physical activity, and nicotine dependence) and therapeutic adherence in people with coronary heart disease. The sample will consist of 200 participants, 100 in the intervention group and 100 in the usual care group that will be evaluated at the beginning and 3, 6, and 12 months after hospital discharge regarding sociodemographic, clinical, cardiovascular risk factors, lifestyle, and therapeutic adherence characteristics. The educational intervention, monitoring, and self-monitoring will be carried out using a web-based m-Health tool, mobile phone application. The quantitative primary results will be compared between the two groups using analysis of covariance, adjusting for age and sex. Multivariate analysis will be carried out to examine the association of the intervention with life habits, control of cardiovascular risk factors as well as the evolution after discharge in respect of cardiovascular events, emergency and re-entry views.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

  • Change in Adherence to the Mediterranean diet

    A 14-item Questionnaire of Mediterranean diet adherence (unit of measure: points. Each item is scored 0 or 1. The total Mediterranean diet score ranges from 0 to 14 points. The higher the score, the higher the degree of adherence to the Mediterranean Diet.

    Month 3, 6 and 12

  • Change in Frequency of food consumption

    A Food-frequency questionnaire with 20 food items (unit of measure: number of times per month, week and day

    Month 3, 6 and 12

  • Change in Level of physical activity

    International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (unit of measure: minutes of exercise/ day. Minimum: Walk at least 30 minutes a day, 5 times a week (150 minutes a week). Do higher values represent a better outcome.

    Month 3, 6 and 12

  • Change in Test for nicotine dependence

    (Unit of measure: points. Less than 4 points, low dependency; between 4 and 6 points, medium dependency; equal to or greater than 7 points, high dependency).

    Month 3, 6 and 12

  • Change in Therapeutic adherence

    A 8 items questionnaire (Total score: 8 points. Good therapeutic adherence= 8 points. Poor therapeutic adherence= 1-7 points)

    Month 3, 6 and 12

  • Change in Knowledge about cardiovascular disease using a questionnaire

    A 24-item questionnaire (scale 0-5 each item. Do higher values represent a better outcome)

    Month 3, 6 and 12

  • Change in Usability and satisfaction with the application

    A 22 item questionnaire 22 item questionnaire to assess user acceptability of mobile health interventions. (6-point scale, level of disagreement to agreement with each item concerning the usability of the apps. Do higher values represent a better outcome)

    Month 3, 6 and 12
