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.

Endometriosis and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease Original Articles
Conclusions— In this large, prospective cohort, laparoscopically confirmed endometriosis was associated with increased risk of CHD. The association was strongest among young women. Hysterectomy/oophorectomy was associated with higher risk of CHD and could partially explain the association between endometriosis and CHD.

Abstract 112: Adherence and Persistence with Statins in Patients with ASCVD Session Title: Abstract Poster Session I and Reception
Conclusions: While patients remained on their first statin (or ezetimibe) therapy for a substantial period of time, a large proportion of patients eventually discontinue therapy. Overall, adherence was high, indicating that ASCVD patients are compliant with their LLT. Interventions and new treatments to improve lipid lowering therapy seem necessary in patients with ASCVD.

Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials Comparing the Long-Term Outcomes of Carotid Artery Stenting Versus Endarterectomy Original Articles
Conclusions— Although stenting has more favorable periprocedural outcomes with respect to myocardial infarction, the observed increased risk of stroke and death throughout follow-up with stenting suggests that endarterectomy remains the treatment of choice for carotid stenosis.

Abstract 328: Cardiovascular Disease Associated with Ability to Achieve Renal Transplant and Post-Transplant Adverse Events Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusions: CVD is common in patients listed for renal transplant. CAD is independently associated with lower odds of receiving a transplant. CAD and rEF are independently associated with increased hazard of post-transplant death or graft failure. Future efforts should focus measures to optimize outcomes in patients with CVD awaiting transplant.

Abstract 166: Developing the Veterans Affairs Cardiac Risk Score Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: We demonstrated that an EHR in a specific population could risk-stratify patients as well those from as organized cohort studies and greatly improve calibration. Further, our finding that the ASCVD score greatly underpredicted in our population, while previous work have reported the ASCVD over-predictind in other cohorts, suggests that rather than arguing about which risk tool is best, our patients may be better served by us focusing on calibrating CV risk tools for our specific patient population using their EHR data.

Abstract 245: Cost Effectiveness and Safety of Abbreviated Eptifibatide Infusion in Veterans Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: In this real world cohort of patients undergoing PCI, an abbreviated 2 hour eptifibatide infusion after PCI was safe and had a cost savings of greater than 50% per patient, when compared with a standard 18 hour infusion. This approach is more cost-effective and should be considered in patients undergoing PCI who are not pretreated with dual antiplatelet therapy.

Abstract 263: Incidence of Recurrent Cardiovascular Events and Disease Burden Among High-Risk Patients with Hyperlipidemia Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: CV event-related risk and long-term costs are significantly greater among high-risk patients with shorter time intervals between recurrent CV events. Underutilization of LLTs in these patients highlights the need for improving clinical management and treatment options for these patients.

Abstract 307: Gender Differences in Recurrent Cardiovascular Events Among High-risk Patients With Hyperlipidemia Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusions: Among high-risk patients (i.e. history of CV events) enrolled in US health plans, women were more likely to have a subsequent CV event and multiple CV events sooner than men. Further research is needed to ascertain whether the gender differences might reflect differences in the intensity of treatment for hyperlipidemia between men and women.

Abstract 340: Thirty-day Repeat Hospitalizations for Patients Treated with Prasugrel Compared to Ticagrelor following Acute Coronary Syndrome: Findings from a Large Hospital Charge Master Database Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusion: Rehosp for MI, revasc or bleeding was non-inferior for pras compared to ticag at 30 days post discharge. Pts treated with pras had lower 30 day rehosp rates, particularly related to readmission for MI, compared with ticag. Although limited by selection bias, these results support the clinical utility of pras, regardless of cohort, to limit 30 day rehosp for pts undergoing PCI for ACS.

Abstract 102: Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in U.S. Coronary Heart Disease and Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: CHD and ACS are resource intensive diseases in the first year after index episode, with most costs related to hospitalizations. Outpatient cardiovascular drug costs make up a small proportion of the total costs.

Abstract 110: Long-Term Health Status Outcomes in Young Women with Acute Myocardial Infarction: Results from the VIRGO Study Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: Compared with men, young women are more likely to have "poor" health status outcomes after AMI. This information is critically important in developing targets for gender-specific interventions to improve young women’s recovery post AMI.

Long-Term Outcomes After Invasive Management for Older Patients With Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Original Articles
Conclusions— Older patients with non–ST-segment elevation MI with significant coronary disease face high long-term risks for mortality and nonfatal cardiovascular outcomes after early catheterization that differ by type of revascularization procedure performed. These findings can help guide the design of studies evaluating long-term therapies among elderly post-MI patients.

Abstract 50: Cardiovascular Event Rates Among Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at Risk of Cardiovascular Events in the Large Population-based Study to Help Improve Early Evaluation and Management of Risk Factors Leading to Diabetes (SHIELD) Poster Session I
Conclusions: T2DM individuals at risk for CVD events had significant incidence of MI, stroke, and revascularization in this large US population-based study. T2DM adults with established CVD are at higher risk of CVD events than those with no CVD but have multiple risk factors.
