Randomized Controlled TrialMobile app and digital system for patients after Myocardial Infarction (afterAMI): early results from a randomized trial.
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a complex program aimed at better control of cardiovascular risk factors. It can be supported by mobile applications. Despite promising results from previous studies on telemedicine tools, there is a paucity of evidence when it comes to prospective randomized trials. ⋯ This study serves as an example of a telemedicine tool being implemented into everyday practice. The augmented rehabilitation program resulted in better control of cholesterol level. Longer follow‑up is required to establish prognosis in this population.

Feasibility of hybrid telerehabilitation as a component of Managed Care after Acute Myocardial Infarction (MC-AMI) in a 12-month follow-up: experience from a single center.
Managed Care after Myocardial Infarction (MC‑AMI [KOS-Zawał]), a comprehensive care program dedicated to patients after myocardial infarction, was implemented in Poland in 2017. Hybrid cardiac telerehabilitation (HTR) is a unique component of MC‑AMI. ⋯ HTR as a component of MC‑AMI was a feasible, safe, and well‑accepted form of cardiac rehabilitation. Participation in MC‑AMI including HTR was associated with a significantly lower risk of 1‑year all‑cause mortality, as compared with not taking part in the rehabilitation program.
