NCT ID NCT07485491
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a combination of a motivational phone call for patients and reminders for their doctors can increase attendance at cardiac rehabilitation after a type 2 heart attack. Researchers will compare 60 adults who receive this extra support to those who get usual care. The goal is to see if more patients attend at least one rehab session and complete 12 sessions within 140 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
behavioral intervention (motivational interviewing phone call and clinician reminders)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help more heart attack patients attend cardiac rehabilitation, improving recovery and reducing future heart problems.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is behavioral, so its success depends on patient and clinician engagement.
