Heart stent recovery: does better Follow-Up care lead to healthier lives?
NCT ID NCT03810612
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows over 3,400 adults who have had a heart stent procedure to understand how continuity of care, health literacy, and medication adherence influence their long-term health. Researchers will track hospital readmissions, medication use, and patient-reported outcomes like anxiety and depression. The goal is to identify what helps patients manage their condition best after leaving the hospital.
