NCT ID NCT02819791
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a therapeutic education program, added to standard medical care, helps people who have had a heart attack or stroke better control their risk factors over one year. About 202 adults aged 18-75 took part. The goal was to see if the program improves physical, mental, and social health compared to standard care alone.
