Conclusion
Cardiac catheterization is a common procedure that is generally well tolerated. Pharmacists should be aware of the benefits and risks associated with the procedure and associated drug therapy. Pharmacists in the community setting are in a position to answer patients' questions regarding the cardiac catheterization procedure and the need for adherence with DAPT following hospital discharge. Pharmacists in hospital settings can play a role in guiding drug choices and developing a drug formulary of antiplatelets and anticoagulants for the procedure. These pharmacists can also ensure that patients are discharged on appropriate antiplatelet therapy to prevent future cardiovascular events.
