Conceptual model of pharmaceutical care for patients with coronary heart disease and comorbid conditions in Ukraine

<b>Background:</b> According to WHO's data, a significant number of deaths from CVD is observed in Ukraine. In today's conditions, the problems of ensuring the availability of medicines and pharmaceutical care for patients with CHD and comorbid conditions are being addressed at all levels of management of the Ukrainian healthcare sector in conditions of limited funds, resources and martial law. The scientific development of a conceptual model for providing pharmaceutical care to such patients, aimed at reducing the burden on the healthcare system and ensuring the safe use of medicines in compliance with European legislation, is highly relevant. <b>Methods:</b> The methods used in this work include information retrieval, analysis, synthesis, generalisation, induction and deduction, synergistic, dialectical, and modelling. <b>Results:</b> The conceptual model of pharmaceutical care for patients with CHD and comorbid conditions was developed and substantiated. The place and role of pharmacists in the context of participation in interprofessional collaboration in multidisciplinary teams is defined. The rationale for involving pharmacists in multidisciplinary teams has been substantiated, as this will enhance the quality of personalised care, prevent potential medicines interactions considering their metabolic profiles, reduce the risk of adverse reactions and improve patient adherence to pharmacotherapy. <b>Conclusion:</b> The model of pharmaceutical care for patients with CHD and comorbid conditions takes into account the cardiovascular continuum and pharmacotherapy, which will lead to a decrease in disease progression, pharmacotherapeutic risks, reduce the burden on the healthcare system and guarantee the safety of medicines use. Implementation of the conceptual model of pharmaceutical care for patients with CHD and comorbid conditions in pharmaceutical practice requires revision of educational training programmes.
