Abstract
Introduction. Acute myocardial infarction is one of the most prevalent health problems, with a high morbidity and mortality, and it entails a change in the user‘s lifestyle that affects his/her biopsychosocial sphere. Adequate secondary prevention is important so as to reduce recurrences, improve the quality of life and control cardiovascular risk factors. Objective. Development of a health education tool to facilitate post-infarcted patients‘ training in their cardiovascular self-care: Infartapp.
Methodology. A literature search is made by consulting databases and the main cardiology websites, thereby selecting a total of 23 full text articles.
Results. Integral cardiovascular care is classified according to Marjory Gordon‘s functional patterns, so as to know those alterations that someone who has suffered from an acute myocardial infarction may present. Information is provided on the main alterations that may appear to favor users‘ empowerment.
Conclusion. A mobile application Infartapp. is offered in order to favor the acquisition of knowledge and skills that may lead to training in decision making by the user, so that he or she can lead his/her self-management and health-disease process.
