The outcomes of electronic personal health records in patients with heart failure or coronary artery disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are limited data on the efficacy of smartphone-based personal health records (PHRs) in patients with cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to examine the processes, outcomes and challenges associated with the implementation of integrated PHRs in patients with heart failure (HF) or coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods

The outcomes measured were the 6 -month changes in blood pressure (BP), body weight (BW), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, lipid profiles and haemoglobin (Hb) A1c levels.
