Cardiovascular risk factors are prevalent in the Italian population, and cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of mortality in the Western world. As the incidence of risk factors and cardiovascular diseases increases with age, effective and early prevention and management strategies are crucial. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits of using the Heartaway® mobile application as an additional intervention to standard clinical care for patients with hypertension. The study will explore improvements in blood pressure control, medication adherence, cardiovascular risk factors, lifestyle habits, and cardiovascular outcomes. The results of this study may contribute to a broader integration of telemedicine into cardiovascular disease prevention in the clinical practice.
心血管危险因素在意大利人群中普遍存在,心血管疾病仍然是西方世界的主要死因。由于危险因素和心血管疾病的发病率随年龄增长而增加,有效的早期预防和管理策略至关重要。本研究旨在评估使用Heartaway®移动应用程序作为高血压患者标准临床护理的额外干预措施的可行性和潜在益处。该研究将探索血压控制、药物依从性、心血管危险因素、生活方式习惯和心血管结局方面的改善情况。本研究结果可能有助于在临床实践中将远程医疗更广泛地整合到心血管疾病预防中。
