Conditions

Summary

Patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction

Detailed description

Following enrolment, participants will be allocated sequentially on each site to group 1: Reading the patient information leaflet only and group 2: Reading the patient information leaflet and viewing the video animation. The animation will be available as a link or QR code that can be accessed on the patient’s phone through hospital wifi or mobile network. It may also be viewed on a handheld mobile device supplied by the investigator. After the participant has read the leaflet and reviewed the patient animation (group 2 only), they will answer a short questionnaire with simple ’True’, ‘False’, and ‘don’t know’ responses. The process of reading the leaflet, viewing the video animation and answering the questions will take up to 30 minutes. The study ends with the completion of the questionnaire.
