Pharmacist-Assisted Titration of Rx to Implement Optimal Medical Therapy for Heart Failure
Pharmacist-Assisted Titration of Rx to Implement Optimal Medical Therapy for Heart Failure (PATRIOT-HF) (QUE 25-018)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Many Veterans who are hospitalized with heart failure do not receive all the recommended heart medications at the right doses before they leave the hospital or in the weeks following discharge. This study tests whether a team of clinical pharmacists and cardiologists, working virtually, can improve heart failure medication prescribing for Veterans at VA medical centers. The pharmacist and cardiologist team reviews patient records and provides recommendations to the treating doctors and primary care providers caring for Veterans with heart failure. The goal is to increase use of guideline-recommended medications, which have been shown to improve survival, reduce hospitalizations, and improve quality of life.
