Key Points Question Does the use of smartphone technology have an effect on improved blood pressure regulation in patients after myocardial infarction and is it feasible to implement? Findings This randomized clinical trial of 200 patients found that there was no statistically significant difference in regulated blood pressure between groups at 12 months. Exploratory secondary outcomes showed that clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction were similar between groups. Meaning The use of smart technology in the follow-up of patients with myocardial infarction did not have an effect on improved blood pressure control, but implementing such an intervention was feasible and accepted by patients.
