Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if follow-up by a pharmacist over the telephone improves adherence and short term clinical outcomes in the patient with atrial fibrillation prescribed an oral anti-arrhythmic medication. This study will also identify the reasons people stop taking their anti-arrhythmic therapy. A pharmacist will provide medication counseling about their anti-arrhythmic therapy, then will follow-up by telephone on a monthly basis to assess adherence over one year.
