NCT ID NCT03871907
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether sending personalized text messages about lifestyle changes could improve heart health in 700 people who had a stent placed for coronary artery disease. Half received 4 texts per week for 24 weeks, while the other half got standard care. Researchers measured cholesterol, blood pressure, and other risk factors to see if digital reminders make a difference.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help heart patients manage their risk factors after a stent procedure.

This is a completed study, but the intervention is just text messages—lifestyle changes are hard to sustain. Results may not apply to all heart patients.
