The aim is to compare the safety of using telemedicine and office visit follow-up in post-acute coronary syndrome patients
Rehabilitation after acute coronary syndrome includes visits to the cardiologist's office at 1, 2, 6 and 12 months after discharge. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, visiting a cardiologist's office maybe impossible. In such cases telemedicine follow-up visit would be reasonable choice. Taking into account the absence of studies in this area, providing investigation evaluating parameters of safety for both methodics is relevant.

High level of MT optimization
High Level of Medical Therapy Optimization is defined as a participant meeting all of the following goals: LDL \< 1.4 mmol/L and on any statin, blood pressure \< 140/90 mm/Hg (\<135/85 mm/Hg for patients with diabetes mellitus), on aspirin or other antiplatelet or anticoagulant, and not smoking. High level of medical therapy optimization is missing if any of the individual goals are missing.
