187A CARDIOLOGIST PHARMACIST COLLABORATIVE HYPERTENSION MANAGEMENT MODEL IS BENEFICIAL TO PATIENTS AT HIGH CARDIOVASCULAR RISKHypertension medication therapy is managed collaboratively by clinical pharmacists. Blood pressure is better controlled with this approach. When patients with coronary artery disease are advised to lower their blood pressures, a pharmacistcardiologist collaboration care model may be able to accomplish these more difficult therapy goals. This model of care was used to evaluate patients with high cardiac risk. A retrospective cohort study compared cardiologist-pharmacist care models (n=30) and usual cardiologist care (n=29) to determine whether cardiologist-pharmacist care reduced blood pressure and achieved blood pressure goals (140/90 mmHg) among patients at increased risk of coronary artery disease.). Patients prescribed by cardiologist-pharmacists achieved their target blood pressure at a higher rate than those prescribed by cardiologists alone, 48.3% vs 32.1%, p In the cardiologist-pharmacist care model, systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure, (p=0.0153) were reduced more substantially. Neither systolic nor diastolic pressures were different. There were fewer clinic visits in comparison to usual care, but there were more clinic visits (p<0.0001). Through the evaluation period, antihypertensives were not used significantly more frequently. Using a cardiologist-pharmacist collaboration, this research suggests that group-based hypertension care can improve blood pressure from baseline for patients at high cardiac risk and assist patients in achieving higher blood pressure goals than usual caresaadhnatmohd24@gmail.comResearch1312023 Patient care,Pharmacists,Hypertension,Cardiologists,Anti-HypertensivesMohammed Saadhna Tharannum,Vindiela Anusha,C.R.
