Article Synopsis
- For patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices, detecting arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation (AF) allows for quick treatment actions such as starting anticoagulation to prevent strokes and other cardiological issues.
- A virtual clinic was established for pharmacists to evaluate referrals from CIED clinics, helping to decide on the best anticoagulation therapy based on individual patient needs, along with optimizing blood pressure and lipid levels.
- Over two years, the clinic helped 315 patients, resulting in 322 successful interventions and quicker initiation of anticoagulation, which likely improved health outcomes by reducing risks associated with strokes and other cardiovascular complications.
