  • Description: "Research shows that when passed on to patients, high prices reduce medication adherence and can lead to negative health outcomes," said Elliott Marshall Antman, MD, FAHA, former president of the American Heart Association (AHA), chair of the writing group for the AHA's 2017 presidential advisory on medication access and affordability, and senior physician specializing in cardiovascular medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, in a statement. To conduct the study, investigators gathered data on prescription-filling patterns, comparing brand-name medications that prevent or treat blood clotting, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and irregular heart rhythms with their generic counterparts. Tools that detail information on the pricing and value of medications would help both health care professionals and patients make decisions in selecting care regimens that best align with patient and family goals and preferences, according to the advisory.
