New Technologies for Intensive Prevention Programs - NET-IPP
Sponsor: Herzzentrum Bremen
Summary
In a randomized trial patients hospitalized for myocardial infarction are prospectively enrolled and assigned to either a web-based intensive prevention program or usual care (1 : 1 randomization). The web-based program includes telemetric transmission of data on cardiocascular risk factors (physical activity, blood pressure, body weight) by patients to the study center, e-learning modules by the study center and repetitive electronic contacts by e-mails and apps between a prevention assistant and the patient. In addition, genetic risk on cardiovascular events will be assessed in all patients of the intervention group by a polygenetic risk score (PRS). Patients of the intervention group are randomly assigned to disclosure of genetic risk vs. no disclosure. The study hypothesis is that disclosure of genetic risk improves cardiovascular risk factor control by increased patient motivation.
