Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In the trial cardiac patients will be provided with unrestricted access to the web-based eLearing platform for a one-month period.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients participating in the trial will be provided with a cardiac web-based eLearning platform for one month during study period. The medical content of the packages will be gathered from a multidisciplinary input of both medics (e.g. cardiologists) and paramedics (e.g. psychologists).

E-Learning packages type I: videos with information from caregivers. In these videos, medics and paramedics are interviewed to highlight the etiology, pathophysiology and treatment of coronary artery disease; the associated comorbidities and the ways to prevent recurrence.

E-Learning packages type II: videos in which patients are interviewed. Patients can help each other to adhere to their treatment plan, by sharing stories from their own experience about their illness and the rehabilitation afterwards. Short clips of maximum 2 minutes will be provided to study participants.
