Local pharmacists take lead in stroke prevention for heart rhythm patients
NCT ID NCT04907825
Summary
This small pilot study tested whether having pharmacists manage blood-thinning medication for older adults with atrial fibrillation (AF) could improve stroke prevention care. Researchers enrolled 14 participants from community pharmacies who were not receiving optimal treatment. They received 3 months of pharmacist-led management and were followed for safety over a year to see if this approach helped more people get the right medication.
