Abstract

The aim of the work. To substantiate and functionally fill the role of the pharmacist in providing pharmaceutical care to patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and comorbid conditions at the primary prevention level, considering the reduction in secondary cardiovascular events, disability rates and the burden on the healthcare system.

Materials and Methods. The study materials included ESC/AHA clinical guidelines, American pharmaceutical care protocols, information and scientific databases like Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PubMed and international and national legal and regulatory documents. The methods of comparative analysis, synthesis, generalization, deduction, induction and modeling were applied in the work.

Results and Discussion. It was found out that globally, the expansion of the roles of GPP pharmacists in providing pharmaceutical care is occurring through integration into primary healthcare as members of medical teams for further interprofessional collaboration and reducing the burden on national healthcare systems. The educational and informational functions of pharmacists, as well as teamwork in accordance with best global practices, are provided for in the proposed model of pharmaceutical care for the primary prevention of IHD and comorbid conditions. It is proposed to expand pharmacist protocols for providing pharmaceutical care to patients with cardiovascular diseases in accordance with protocols and clinical guidelines based on evidence-based medicine.

Conclusions. A model for providing pharmaceutical care for the primary prevention of IHD and comorbid conditions has been developed and substantiated, based on health technology assessment with justification of the functional role of the pharmacist and considering the reduction of secondary cardiovascular events, population disability and the burden on the healthcare system.
