A Mobile App-based Approach in Cardiovascular Disease Prevention: A Prospective Randomized Study.

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.
