Preventing Heart Disease in Underserved Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The study will evaluate the impact of an internet based telemedicine system on cardiovascular risk profile of underserved patient populations. It is our hypothesis that a treatment plan and frequent communication via an internet based Telemedicine system will improve the cardiovascular risk profile of underserved patient populations at increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Our primary endpoint is a reduction over one year in the 10-year CVD risk score (ATP III risk model).

Clinical Trial Description

The Insight Telehealth system (ITSMyHealthfile) is a disease-managment interactive health care delivery system. Patients access the system through a special Web site using a password. The system prompts the patient to enter their weight, blood pressure and heart rate and there is a text box available for unstructed comments.

Patients will be randomized to either the telemedicine group or usual care group (controls). Individuals in the telemedicine group will be asked to transmit their health status weekly. Both groups will be followed for one year with quarterly visits.

Patients of either sex, of any ethnic background or race, between 22 and 85years of age, who have a 10% or greater 10-year risk of CVD based on the Framingham risk score, and risk factors that if properly treated would reduced the risk by 5% or greater will be eligible for the study.

Additional criteria

- literate

- telephone access

- ablility to utilize the Internet and telemedicine system (after training) Primary Outcome Reduction in Framingham risk index ;
