Identifying Opportunities for Impact of Community-Based Pharmacist-Led Biometric Health Screenings on ASCVD Risk.

Introduction: Community-based pharmacists are positioned uniquely to assist in the early detection of underlying cardiovascular disease (CVD) which affects approximately 50% of adults in the United States. Organizations utilize community-based pharmacists to conduct annual biometric health screenings to help employees identify health risks previously undetected. The goal of this study was to evaluate how community-based pharmacists could impact lifetime atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk for a large population.
