Detailed description

The SPRING study aims to learn whether a remote, nurse-guided secondary prevention program reduces adverse events in patients who suffer an infarction during the subsequent one-year period. The SPRING study focuses not only on adverse events but also on the patients' state of life in terms of diet, physical exercise, emotional state, tobacco use, and adherence to medical treatment. Nursing is a profession in charge of preserving the health of patients, which is why the remote secondary cardiovascular prevention program of this study is coordinated by a nurse.
