Pharmacists step in to prevent strokes in seniors with AFib

This pilot study tested whether community pharmacists can manage blood thinner therapy for older adults (60+) with atrial fibrillation who are at high risk for stroke but not on optimal treatment. Fourteen participants received pharmacist-led care for 3 months, then were followed for 9 more months to check safety. The goal was to see if this approach improves proper medication use and adherence.
