Summary

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is still one of the major cause of morbi-mortality in Europe. After an ACS, patients should be treated with secondary prevention medication to reduce the risk of recurrence. However, it is known that patients do not take all their medicines as expected, which leads to readmission at the hospital. To enhance drug adherence, the investigators sought to develop an interactive e-learning tool for these patients. This e-learning includes information about the disease, the acute care and the subsequent medications being prescribed. The tool is now ready to use and the investigators want to assess if it has the impact to enhance self-care management of ACS patients.

Conditions

  • Acute Myocardial Infarction

Interventions

OTHER

E-learning

The intervention consists of the presentation and installation of an internet tool to educate the patient about his heart condition and about his medications in addition to usual care. The tool is an interactive web-hosting video called "Mon Coeur, mon BASIC" adaptable to smartphones and tablets. The total length of the video is around 15 minutes. The e-learning is interactive because of the possibility to click in the video to have more details about a particular point. The tool includes a part about the heart and particularly about the ACS (physiopathology, diagnosis, coronarography, angioplasty). A second part includes an education about the medications prescribed. The patient will select the medication being prescribed and receive information about it.
