The management of arrhythmias can be complex and often involves the use of multiple high-risk agents including antiarrhythmics and anticoagulation. As such, it is critical for clinicians to be up to date on issues regarding the assessment and management of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. The need for anticoagulation creates an opportunity for the advancement of clinical pharmacy practice as well. Arrhythmias and Thrombosis, the latest release in ACCP's Cardiology Self-Assessment Program (CardSAP), provides evidence-based updates for pharmacists managing arrhythmia related disorders and opportunities for pharmacist involvement in areas of cardiovascular care.

The target audience for Arrhythmias and Thrombosis is board-certified cardiology pharmacy specialists caring for patients with cardiovascular diseases being treated across all care areas. Arrhythmias and Thrombosis has five modules offering a total of 21.5 available continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits. The book was developed under the leadership of Faculty Panel Chair Kristen Bova Campbell, Pharm.D., BCPS (AQ-Cardiology), CPP, FACC.
Chapters in the first module provide an overview of ECG interpretation as well as the positive effect of pharmacist involvement in atrial fibrillation clinics. The second module focuses on ventricular tachycardia and the role of antiarrhythmics versus ablation in the management of atrial fibrillation. The third module examines the growing evidence for wearable devices for detection of atrial fibrillation as well as risk factor modification and lifestyle modifications for atrial fibrillation. The fourth module details antithrombotic therapy for patients with valvular heart disease. And the final module comprises two features: a case series on left ventricular thrombus; and a recorded webcast focusing on the management of supraventricular tachycardia.
Each CardSAP release has continuing education activities that cover the most recent published data (past 3–5 years) on a specific therapeutic area or patient-care problem. This content is provided as a full-color electronic book (interactive PDF) with high-level updates designed, as appropriate to the topic, in three formats:
- Traditional review-style chapters
- Case series (major sections of learning content bookended by a sample case and its explained answer)
- Recorded webcast (PowerPoint presentation; includes PDF of the transcribed narrative)
CardSAP chapters and features are fully referenced, with clickable hyperlinks to literature compilers such as PubMed. Other links provide ready access to clinical practice guidelines, official recommendations, and patient assessment tools. Graphics focus on pivotal studies, patient care scenarios, and take-home points that can be readily integrated into clinical practice. Included with every purchase is an e-media version you can view on an e-reader, tablet, and iOS or Android smart phone.
