Abstract
Underutilization of pharmacotherapy is one of the major factors limiting
morbidity and mortality benefits among heart failure (HF) patients. Pharmacistassisted
HF management has proven beneficial in developed countries though such
data is lacking in Malaysia. This single centre study was designed to evaluate the
development, establishment and effectiveness of pharmacist-assisted heart failure
management tools (PAHMT) on optimizing HF therapy, improving morbidity and
mortality, and humanistic outcomes (knowledge, self-care, quality of life, illness
perception, medication adherence and patient satisfaction). This study was divided
into 3 components.
