John Carlquist received a PhD from the Department of Cellular Viral and Molecular Biology at the University of Utah School of Medicine (UT, USA) with research emphasis in molecular immunology. After completion of his training, he received a faculty appointment in the Department of Internal Medicine, University of Utah, where he became interested in immune mechanisms in cardiovascular disease. He developed an interest in genetics through studies of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) associations with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and rheumatic heart disease. He began the Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory for Intermountain Healthcare and continues to serve as Technical Director; he also directs the Intermountain Heart Study Molecular and Genetic Research Laboratory. Current research interests include the genetics of lipid metabolism as related to coronary heart disease and the genetic factors influencing drug treatment outcomes.
While clinical trials have proven that use of certain cardiovascular drugs improves morbidity and mortality, these drugs are not widely used, they are by and large prescribed in suboptimal doses, and their benefit is further diminished by nonadherence. Pharmacists have the ability to improve the survival of patients with cardiovascular risks. This can only be accomplished through the efforts of the individual pharmacist and the further development of health-system management services. Pharmacists need to leverage their access to patients, their large patient base, and their knowledge of refill dates to improve patient care. Support and development of more pharmacist-directed anticoagulation, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension clinics are also needed.
