Summary

Participants will be recruited during their hospitalization for either heart attack or unstable angina and will be randomly assigned to either a text message program (Txt2Prevent) or usual care. They will be texted for the first 60-days after discharge. Texts will include topics regarding self-management and discharge protocols such as reminders to make an appointment with their general practitioner or to refill medication prescriptions. After 60 days, the two groups will be compared for hospital readmission rates, quality of life, medication adherence, and self-management.
