"Abstract
Objective To test the efficacy of Comprehensive pharmaceutical care intervention added to cardiac rehabilitation program(CR programs) in improving echocardiographic parameters, nutritional status and High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein(hs-CRP), in post-acute coronary syndrome patients. Methods A prospective; randomized, controlled study. 40 post-acute coronary syndrome patients, participating in CR program, were randomly allocated to either the control group(n = 20) or the intervention group(n = 20). Pharmaceutical care intervention included face-to-face education about the disease, healthy lifestyle, medication adherence, drug related problems management and goal setting. hs-CRP and cardiac parameters were measured at baseline and after 3 months. Results After three months,the intervention group showed a significant decrease in left ventricular end systolic volume (p = 0.0026) and left ventricular end diastolic volume (p = 0.0009) compared to the control group. Also, intervention group showed a significant increase in nutritional status (p = 0.037) and the patients' knowledge about the disease and drugs (p = 0.0001). However, there was no significant change in hscrp level between groups. Conclusion Our findings indicate that Comprehensive pharmaceutical care intervention added to CR programs significantly improved cardiac parameters and nutritional status. This is best explained by increasing adherence to cardiovascular medications and to healthier lifestyle and optimizing medication knowledge and doses. Practice implications Implementing Comprehensive pharmaceutical care intervention added to CR programs could improve the cardiac function and nutritional status of post-acute coronary syndrome patients." |
