NCT ID NCT07346664
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested a transitional care model for 108 patients with coronary heart disease who had a stent procedure. The program used structured follow-up and WeChat-based education to help patients take their medications correctly and improve self-care. Researchers measured medication adherence, self-efficacy, and cholesterol levels to see if the extra support made a difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
transitional care model (structured follow-up and education via WeChat)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to help heart patients stay on track with their medications and lifestyle changes after a procedure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with no blinding, so results may not apply to all heart patients. The intervention is behavioral, not a drug, so effects may be modest.
