NCT ID NCT07701109
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether giving high-risk heart attack patients personalized education before they leave the hospital can reduce their chances of being readmitted. The education covers disease management, medication adherence, lifestyle changes, and recognizing warning signs. Researchers will compare readmission rates, self-care, and quality of life between those who receive the tailored education and those who get standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- individualized discharge education
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could become a standard way to help high-risk heart attack patients avoid returning to the hospital and better manage their health at home.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with 82 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The education's impact depends on patient engagement and follow-up, which can vary.
