MHealth Intervention to Reduce Perceived Stress in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease
Sponsor: University Hospital, Essen
Summary
Stress is highly prevalent in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and is associated with lower health-related quality of life and worsened cardiovascular outcome. The importance of stress management is now recognized in recent cardiovascular guidelines. However, effective stress management intervention are not implemented in clinical routine yet. The development of easily disseminated eHealth interventions, particularly mHealth, may offer a cost-effective and scalable solution to this problem. The aim of the proposed trial is to assess the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the mHealth intervention 'mindfulHeart' in terms of reducing stress in patients with IHD.
