Early nurse-led education to reduce heart risk after a heart attack

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults who recently had an acute myocardial infarction and underwent urgent cardiac catheterization at the Complejo Hospitalario Universitario Insular Materno Infantil are assigned to either a nurse-led education and support program or to standard care. The intervention combines motivational and individualized interviewing, heart-healthy dietary education, tobacco-cessation strategies, promotion of physical activity, and emotional health management delivered in in-person nursing consultations. Outcomes include patient self-efficacy for self-care and changes in cardiovascular risk factors such as diet, activity levels, and smoking status measured during follow-up. Participants must speak Spanish and be able to attend in-person visits at the study center.
