About this trial
The goal of this open label randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention through health education based on the Chronic Care Model's implementation to increase therapeutic adherence in patients with secondary prevention for cardiovascular disease. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Null hypothesis (H0): In patients in cardiovascular secondary prevention, an intervention based on the application of the Chronic Care Model does not improve therapeutic adherence to the 3 preventive drugs: Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/Angiotensin II receptor blockers, acetylsalicylic acid, and statins. * Alternative hypothesis (H1): In patients in cardiovascular secondary prevention, an intervention based on the application of the Chronic Care Model improves therapeutic adherence to the 3 preventive drugs: Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/Angiotensin II receptor blockers, acetylsalicylic acid, and statins.
Researchers will compare intervention group (health education, use of mobile phones, personalized dosage system) to the control group (routine follow-up).
