Design: Single center, prospective, randomized study that will compare activity levels in patients who complete cardiac rehabilitation after clinically indicated percutaneous coronary intervention with and without use of the wrist-worn Fitbit Charge HR device and mobile platform application.
Primary Endpoint: The average number of steps taken per day will serve as the main marker of daily physical activity.
Control: Patients who do not receive the device (Fitbit Charge HR).
Secondary Endpoints: (1) change in daily energy expenditure (2) change in number of activity and sedentary bouts (3) change in sleep efficiency (4) change in weekly time of moderate/vigorous physical activity (5) change in quality of life (6) change in indicators of depression (7) change in medication adherence(8) change in HDL and LDL cholesterol (9) change in BMI and waist circumference (10) change in resting heart rate and blood pressure (11) change in exercise stress test performance (timeframe for all: baseline - 12 weeks)
Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Supportive Care

Prasugrel Hydrochloride
A piperazine derivative and PLATELET AGGREGATION INHIBITOR that is used to prevent THROMBOSIS in patients with ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME; UNSTABLE ANGINA and MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, as well as in those undergoing PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTIONS.
Charge Syndrome
Rare disease characterized by COLOBOMA; CHOANAL ATRESIA; and abnormal SEMICIRCULAR CANALS. Mutations in CHD7 protein resulting in disturbed neural crest development are associated with CHARGE Syndrome.
Ions
An atom or group of atoms that have a positive or negative electric charge due to a gain (negative charge) or loss (positive charge) of one or more electrons. Atoms with a positive charge are known as CATIONS; those with a negative charge are ANIONS.
Coronary Aneurysm
Abnormal balloon- or sac-like dilatation in the wall of CORONARY VESSELS. Most coronary aneurysms are due to CORONARY ATHEROSCLEROSIS, and the rest are due to inflammatory diseases, such as KAWASAKI DISEASE.
Acute Coronary Syndrome
An episode of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA that generally lasts longer than a transient anginal episode but that does not usually result in MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
