Summary
This study tests whether getting daily texts or emails with healthy living tips can help people recover after being hospitalized for a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). One hundred adults will receive these tips for 8 weeks while also taking standard blood thinners. Researchers will measure changes in heart effort during a 6-minute walk test and track quality of life and healthcare visits.
