Can a smartphone app and genetic testing prevent another heart attack?
NCT ID NCT04143646
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a web-based program, including activity tracking, blood pressure monitoring, and educational modules, can help people who have had a heart attack avoid future heart problems. About 864 participants will either use the program or receive standard care. Some will also learn their genetic risk for heart disease to see if it motivates healthier habits.
