W hen a physician has a few extra minutes to spend with a patient during an office visit, what discussions about pharmacotherapy will have the greatest impact on health care outcomes (1)? Should the physician emphasize the importance of taking aspirin for primary prevention? How about keeping blood pressure (BP) under control? Taking warfarin to prevent systemic thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation? Using statins for primary or secondary prevention? Or, perhaps, extending dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients with a history of myocardial infarction (MI)?

当医生在办公室访问期间有额外的几分钟时间与患者相处时，关于药物治疗的哪些讨论将对医疗保健结果产生最大的影响 (1)？医生是否应该强调服用阿司匹林进行一级预防的重要性？如何控制血压 (BP)？房颤患者服用华法林预防全身性血栓栓塞？使用他汀类药物进行一级或二级预防？或者，也许对有心肌梗塞 (MI) 病史的患者延长双重抗血小板治疗 (DAPT)？
