Summary

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) including exercise training are effective to reduce morbidity, mortality and risk factors such as physical fitness, cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure. The main goal for CR is to establish exercise training and other lifestyle changes as permanent changes in the patient's life. Many studies have shown that cardiac patients strive to maintain a heart-healthy lifestyle, one year after participating in CR. Furthermore, this leads to risk profile returning to the starting point where they got their Cardiac event. Changing a lifestyle is known to take time, and we believe that the patients need further follow-up beyond the time spent in traditional CR.

To our knowledge very few, if any, studies evaluates the use of modern technology in longterm follow-up focusing on maintaining a new lifestyle after participating in CR. The investigators would like to evaluate the effect of an dynamic application (app) with regard to physical fitness, lifestyle and quality of life (QoL), one year after CR. The investigators hypothesize that patients getting Access to a dynamic Application and tailored feedback through the application after CR will better be able to take care of physical Fitness and other lifestyle factors one year after CR, compared to patients getting usal care.
