Official title
A Prospective Evaluation of a Medication Therapy Management Clinic Versus Usual Medical Care in Patients Post Acute Coronary Syndrome: The MUMPS Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Existing trials for the patient with coronary heart disease evaluate the interdisciplinary team dynamic where pharmacists (pharmacotherapists) provide therapeutic recommendations in the inpatient environment. To our knowledge, only other trial has evaluated the addition of a pharmacist (or nurse practitioner) in an outpatient collaborative cardiology practice and has found no benefit. However, the investigators believe that since a cardiology based pharmacist (pharmacotherapist) in the Veterans Health Administration has physical assessment skills, a shorter cycle length between appointments, and the ability to provide medication therapy management, the pharmacotherapist should be similarly successful as seen with other pharmacist based medication therapy management practices. The investigators will assess effectiveness by using the combined endpoint of blood pressure and lipid treatment. Additionally the investigators will conduct three substudies to evaluate if the pharmacist can improve all cause mortality and cardiovascular morbidity, adherence to antihypertensives, and patient satisfaction.
