Quantitative dried blood spot analyses: An aid to medicine optimization for heart disease patients
(OMICS, 2015-09-01)
Introduction: Over 355 million prescriptions were dispensed for cardiovascular diseases in the UK in 2013. Half of these, costing the NHS £2.3 billion, were wasted because patients do not take their medicines as prescribed. ...
Cardiovascular drug monitoring using quantitative LC-HRMS analysis of self-collected micro-volume blood samples
(2017-09-24)
Background
Evidence suggests that ˃50% of cardiovascular (CVD) disease patients do not adhere to treatment thus impacting on patient health, additional healthcare costs and medicines wastage. DBS microsampling combined ...
