TeleDiet Study: A Randomized Controlled Study Investigating the Impact of Dietary Education and Counseling With a Smartphone Application on Secondary Prevention of Coronary Artery Disease

Digital cardiology is gaining power in the field of preventive cardiology recently, and several trials have already shown good results of dietary therapy with digital cardiology. However, there has been no reports that showed effect of dietary counseling through digital cardiology for secondary prevention of coronary artery disease.

TeleDiet study investigates the impact of dietary therapy with a smartphone application on the content of meals and metabolic parameters for patients with coronary artery disease.
