NCT ID NCT04188457
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether intensive, coordinated follow-up by nurses, doctors, and pharmacists over two years helps people recover better after a stroke or heart attack compared to standard care. Researchers enrolled 859 participants and measured quality of life and healthcare costs. The goal was to see if more frequent check-ups reduce hospital readmissions and improve control of risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol.
