NCT ID NCT07123480
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether offering heart patients extra support—like a $50 incentive, text messages, case management, and coaching—helps more of them attend cardiac rehabilitation, a program that only 30% of eligible patients currently use. Researchers will also try different ways of asking patients for permission to join the study, to see which approach gets the most people to participate. The goal is to find better strategies to improve heart health in the community.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could point to a simple, low-cost way to help more heart patients attend cardiac rehabilitation, which is proven to improve health.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply to all hospitals or patients. The extra support may not significantly increase attendance.
