Remote Check-Ups may be safe for heart patients after a heart attack
NCT ID NCT04485754
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether follow-up visits by phone or video are as safe as in-person visits for people who had a heart attack and received a stent. 88 patients were split into two groups: one had telemedicine check-ups at 1, 3, and 6 months, and the other had standard office visits. The main goal was to see if there were differences in major heart problems like another heart attack or stroke.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- telemedicine follow-up
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that remote check-ups are a safe and convenient alternative to in-person visits for heart patients after a heart attack.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 88 participants, so results may not apply to all heart patients. Telemedicine might miss some signs that an in-person exam would catch.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
