First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether one-on-one education from a trained pharmacist can help people with atrial fibrillation take their blood thinners (DOACs) as prescribed. About 400 patients will either receive this extra support or usual care. The goal is to see if the education improves medication adherence and reduces stroke risk.
