Incidence, Trends, and Predictors of Ischemic Stroke 30 Days After an Acute Myocardial Infarction Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The incidence of ischemic stroke within 30 days of an AMI has decreased during the period 1998 to 2008. This decrease is associated with increased use of acetylsalicylic acid, P2Y12 inhibitors, statins, and percutaneous coronary intervention.

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.

Management and clinical outcome of stable coronary artery disease in Austria : Results from 5  years of the CLARIFY registry.
CONCLUSION: Characteristics of Austrian outpatients with stable CAD corresponded to those of patients with CAD in other developed countries. Medical treatments following the recommendations of the European guidelines were prescribed in the majority of patients; however, recommended goals of life style interventions including a heart rate less than 60 bpm and general risk factor management were not achieved by a high proportion of patients. Heart rate control and life style changes remain unmet needs of cardiovascular care in Austria. PMID: 28913755 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Sex-based outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting.
CONCLUSIONS: Sex was not an independent predictor of long-term MACE after CABG in this population-based cohort study. Men had however higher long-term all-cause mortality and women higher risk of myocardial infarction. Long-term outcomes should be accounted for when considering sex as a risk factor for CABG.

Moderate-Intensity Statins Plus Ezetimibe vs. High-Intensity Statins After Coronary Revascularization: A Cohort Study
ConclusionsPatients undergoing a coronary revascularization procedure who received moderate-intensity statins plus ezetimibe showed similar rates of major adverse cardiovascular events as patients who received high-intensity statins.

Icosapent Ethyl Reduces Ischemic Events in Patients with a History of Prior Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: REDUCE-IT CABG
Conclusions: In REDUCE-IT patients with a history of CABG, treatment with icosapent ethyl was associated with significant reductions in first and recurrent ischemic events.PMID:34710343 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.121.056290

PCSK9 and Cardiovascular Disease in Individuals with Moderately Decreased Kidney Function
Conclusions: Our findings reveal no relation of PCSK9 with baseline eGFR and albuminuria, but a significant association between higher PCSK9 concentrations and risk of cardiovascular disease independent of traditional risk factors including LDL-cholesterol levels.PMID:35387881 | DOI:10.2215/CJN.01230122

Abstract 251: Risk Factors for Recurrence of Cardiovascular Events Following Acute Coronary Syndrome: Longitudinal Analysis from 2006-2011 Poster Session III
Conclusion: Following an ACS event, patients with pre-admission statin use or a prior CABG had decreased risk, while older patients or those with baseline comorbidities had increased risk of an adverse CV event occurring sooner. Ultimately, identifying high-risk ACS subgroups may facilitate tailored and more aggressive treatment to improve outcomes.

Characteristics, treatment and one-year outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndrome in a tertiary hospital in India.
CONCLUSIONS: ACS population was older than previously described in India. Evidence-based pharmacotherapy and interventions, and outcomes were comparable to the developed nations. PMID: 24814108 [PubMed - in process]

Relationship between early postoperative C-reactive protein elevation and long-term postoperative major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a retrospective study
Conclusions Postoperative CRP elevation was associated with long-term postoperative MACCE in OPCAB patients. This was mitigated by postoperative statin medication. Furthermore, postoperative CRP elevation was associated with intraoperative parameters reflecting hypoperfusion and inflammation.
