From: The Effectiveness of Pharmacist Interventions on Cardiovascular Risk: The Multicenter Randomized Controlled RxEACH Trial J Am Coll Cardiol. 2016;67(24): doi: /j.jacc Month CV Risk Factor Targets At 3 months, pharmacist care (intervention) resulted in significantly more patients reaching the recommended targets for low- density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (≤2.0 mmol/l), blood pressure (BP) (<140/90 mm Hg or <130/80 mm Hg if diabetic), glycemic control via glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (≤7.0%), and current smoking status at the end of follow-up. The absolute differences achieved included: LDL-C, 9.9% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.2 to 17.5; p = 0.012); BP, 23.1% (95% CI: 16.0 to 30.1; p < 0.001); HbA1c, 17.6% (95% CI: 9.9 to 25.4; p < 0.001); and smoking, 6.9% (95% CI: 0.6 to 13.2; p = 0.032).

After 3 months, patients in the intervention group experienced significant decreases in risk for cardiovascular events, as well as blood pressure, cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and smoking.
