Our lab has been working for several years on some projects screening for clinically-important prescribing cascades related to cardiovascular medications. Our current project, funded by an R21 from the NHLBI is the Antihypertensive Prescribing Cascades project. The first paper, led by Asinamai Ndai, is now published in Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety.

If you don’t have access to PDS, see below for a PDF copy of the paper. Also, check out the Tableau visualization that accompanies this project (made by Dr. Keshwani, based on prior work from our former analyst, Marta).

More to come from this project, as we have other manuscripts currently under review!
