Effect of Smartphone-Enabled Health Monitoring Devices vs Regular Follow-up on Blood Pressure Control Among Patients After Myocardial Infarction: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Smart technology via smartphone-compatible devices might improve blood pressure (BP) regulation in patients after myocardial infarction.

Objectives

To investigate whether smart technology in clinical practice can improve BP regulation and to evaluate the feasibility of such an intervention.

Design, setting, and participants

This study was an investigator-initiated, single-center, nonblinded, feasibility, randomized clinical trial conducted at the Department of Cardiology of the Leiden University Medical Center between May 2016 and December 2018. Two hundred patients, who were admitted with either ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction or non-ST-segment acute coronary syndrome, were randomized in a 1:1 fashion between follow-up groups using smart technol
