Abstract 139: Comparison of Access to Care and Quality of Care in Veterans versus Non-veterans With Cardiovascular Disease Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: Veterans with CVD receive improved access to care and quality of care compared to their non-veteran counterparts.

Abstract 211: Implications of the PEGASUS-TIMI 54 Trial for U.S. Clinical Practice Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: In contemporary clinical practice, a minority of patients are on a P2Y12inhibitor beyond 1-year post-MI. Applying PEGASUS trial findings to clinical practice would result in a large increase in P2Y12 inhibitor use with a cost per ischemic event averted that is strongly influenced by the choice of therapy.

Abstract 236: Coronary Artery Procedures in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory After Overnight Call: Are Patients at Higher Risk? Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: There were greater procedural complications when performed post-call compared to no post-call; however, when adjusting for significant baseline variables, there was no significant difference seen between groups. Taking into consideration factors that contributed to procedural complications most likely will improve patient outcomes.

Thirty-Year Mortality After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: A Danish Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study Original Articles
Conclusions— The isolated CABG cohort had a higher mortality rate than the general population comparison cohort, especially within 30 days of and 10 years after surgery.

Clinical Outcomes of Plavix and Generic Clopidogrel for Patients Hospitalized With an Acute Coronary Syndrome Original Articles
Conclusions: Generic clopidogrel was noninferior to Plavix with respect to the composite end point of death and recurrent hospitalization for ACS at 1 year among adults >65 years after an ACS hospitalization. Our findings support generic clopidogrel in ACS, which could lead to substantial healthcare cost savings.

Abstract 131: Recurrent Acute Cardiovascular Events and Statin Use Session Title: Poster Session AM
Conclusion: While statin use substantially increased after an index CV event, nearly 40% of patients remained untreated, increasing their recurrent CV event risk by 76%. Initiation and continuation of statin therapy after CV events remains a large public health opportunity for patients with ASCVD.

Abstract 208: A Large, Retrospective Cohort Study Comparing Cardiovascular Outcomes With {beta}-blocker Combination Treatment in Patients With Hypertension Session Title: Poster Session PM
Conclusions: In adults receiving combination antihypertension therapy, NEB treatment was associated with a lower risk for CV-related hospitalization than either ATN or MET. Lower risk of hospitalization was supported by event rate data, as patients receiving NEB combined with other antihypertensives were hospitalized less frequently than patients receiving combination therapy with either ATN or MET.

Abstract 209: Education Level and Long-Term Outcomes After Acute Myocardial Infarction: The China PEACE Prospective AMI Study Session Title: Poster Session PM
Conclusions: In a national Chinese cohort of patients hospitalized with AMI, lower educational attainment was associated with a higher risk of adverse events in the year following discharge. This association highlights the need to explore mechanisms underlying this relationship, and to consider interventions for adults with lower levels of education.

Abstract 252: Regional Variations in Access to Care Among U.S. Veterans With Cardiovascular Disease Session Title: Poster Session PM
Conclusions: In this observational study involving U.S. veterans with CVD, West region was independently associated with lower rates of medical checkup within the past year. Further large-scale studies examining the prevalence of impaired access to care in U.S. veterans with CVD are warranted.
