Talking your way to a healthier heart: could coaching after stent surgery improve cholesterol and weight?
NCT ID NCT07659951
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether motivational interviewing—a supportive, goal-oriented counseling approach—can help people who have had a heart stent adopt and maintain healthier habits. Participants receive one-on-one coaching sessions and reminder texts over three months, while researchers track changes in lifestyle behaviors, cholesterol levels, and body mass index. The goal is to see if this simple, non-drug intervention can improve heart health after a common procedure.
