Abstract: BACKGROUND: In 2019, approximately 330 million individuals in China were affected by cardiovascular diseases, with 11.4 million cases specifically attributed to coronary artery disease (CAD). A national public health report indicated that the mortality rate for CAD ranged from 121.59 to 130.14 per 100,000 individuals in 2019. The treatments for CAD include lifestyle changes, medications, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the management effect of a digital health program in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: This retrospective study compares blood pressure, blood glucose, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), medication adherence, lifestyle modification, and readmission rate between digital health users and traditional follow-up in post-PCI CAD patients. RESULTS: In this study of 698 CAD patients, the 6-month readmission rate of all patients was 27.4%, with digital health users showing lower rates than those in traditional follow-up (22.6% vs. 32.1%, p= 0.005). Digital health users had significantly higher target achievements rates in blood pressure (79.7% vs. 54.7%, p< 0.001), blood glucose (98.9% vs. 82.5%, p< 0.001) and LDL-C level (71.3% vs. 52.7%, p< 0.001) at 6-month post-PCI. The digital health group had more patients adopting lifestyle changes, including quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy diet, and exercising regularly. In risk factor analysis, digital health utilization (OR = 0.60, 95%CI: 0.40–0.90, p= 0.014) and multivessel disease (double: OR = 1.72, 95%CI: 1.09—2.72, p= 0.02; triple: OR = 2.59, 95%CI: 1.61–4.17, p< 0.001) were independent predictors of CAD-related cardiovascular readmissions. CONCLUSIONS: Post-PCI patients using digital health platforms exhibited improved blood pressure, glucose, and LDL-C control, greater treatment adherence, enhanced lifestyle changes, and reduced six-month readmission rates versus those with traditional follow-up.
