Pharmacies in London offer heart checks

Community pharmacies in North East London are screening customers for atrial fibrillation as part of a new heart health campaign. A total of 135 pharmacy teams began offering free heart checks during the Arrhythmia Alliance's World Heart Rhythm Week using NICE-approved Microlife blood pressure monitoring devices and AliveCor heart monitors.

€This is a groundbreaking service because it combines the latest mobile health technology and blood pressure testing devices to screen for both high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation,€ NE London LPC member Bhavin Patel told Pharmacy Magazine.
