Summary

This study looks at medical records of 1,000 older heart patients in Russia to see if they were prescribed potentially harmful medications during the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers will use a medical database to count how often these risky prescriptions happened and check for dangerous drug combinations. The goal is to understand and improve medication safety for elderly heart patients.
