Abstract 185: Health Care Resource Utilization of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) in a Geographically Distributed US Population 2006-2011 [Poster Session II]
Conclusion: Patients with recurrent CVEs had higher 1- and 3-year post-index overall and CV-related utilization as compared with patients without recurrent CVEs. More aggressive strategies to manage this increased long-term utilization is warranted. This study underscores the need to prevent subsequent adverse CVEs, ultimately to improve patient outcomes and help reduce overall health care utilization.
