Summary

Heart attacks are one of the top causes of death in Canada, with over 2,100 cases treated each year in Manitoba. Even though hospital care has improved, the period after going home is still risky. Many patients feel anxious and unsure about their recovery, and without enough support, they often end up back in the emergency department (ED). This is an even bigger challenge for people in rural areas, where getting follow-up care can be much harder. Filling these gaps is important to help patients get better and to reduce stress on the healthcare system.

In a previous study, the investigators found that extra support made a big difference: only 8% of participants using a digital health tool returned to the ED within 30 days, compared to 22% of participants without it. Now, the investigators want to expand this study across Manitoba to see if digital health tools can help more people recover safely at home. The investigators will compare two types of follow-up care: education only versus education with extra support (like symptom tracking and virtual appointments). The investigators will look at how this affects hospital visits, mental well-being, and healthcare costs. The goal is to create a better support system for people after a heart attack, leading to healthier recoveries, less strain on hospitals, and better care for Manitobans - no matter where they live.
