Lifestyle Intervention Using Mobile Technology in Patients With High Cardiovascular Risk
Lifestyle Intervention Using Mobile Technology in Patients With High Cardiovascular Risk
In the present study, investigators aim to compare intervention using mobile technology (IMT)
 plus usual care with only usual care in patients with a high risk for cardiovascular diseases
 (CVD). Investigators hypothesize that IMT plus usual care reduces the CVD risk and improves
 the secondary outcomes in this population through 12 months of follow-up period. Patients
 presented to the outpatient clinics in a tertiary hospital (Dr. Siyami Ersek Thoracic and
 Cardiovascular Surgery Research and Training Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey) who were considered
 to be eligible according to inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled to the study.
 The eligibility criteria is; Patients between 20 to 79 years old who are in high risk for CVD
 (10 years ASCVD risk ≥ 7.5%). Patients with prior CVD events (myocardial infarction,
 percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery by-pass grafting operation, stroke and
 peripheral artery disease), pregnancy, communication problems, severe neuropsychiatric
 problems and chronic kidney disease are excluded from the study. In addition, patients that
 are unable to use smartphone phone are also excluded.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Presence of high risk for cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD risk score > 7.5%).

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Patients with prior cardiovascular events including myocardial infarction,
 percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery by-pass grafting operation, stroke
 and peripheral artery disease.

 -  Pregnancy

 -  Patients with communication problems or severe neuropsychiatric problems

 -  Patients with chronic kidney disease

 -  Patients who are considered for being unable to use smart phone
