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 369: Symptom Type and Characteristics Differentiate Early from Late Treatment Seekers for Symptoms of Atrial Fibrillation Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusions: Symptom type and characteristic, and cognitive behavioral responses of early treatment seekers differed from those of late treatment seekers. Experiencing a rapid heartbeat and unremitting symptoms may have helped participants form a cognitive appraisal and behavioral response conducive to early treatment-seeking. Experiencing intermittent symptoms less identifiable with a cardiac origin may have hindered development of cognitive appraisals and behavioral responses that promote early treatment- seeking. Education to promote early treatment-seeking for symptoms should include information about the diverse type ...

Abstract 172: Patients' Experiences from Symptom Onset to Initial Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: Providers’ played a critical role in reducing patients' emotional distress and helping them to develop an accurate understanding of AF symptoms and treatment. This study provides new insight into participant experiences from symptom onset through initial treatment of AF which may inform development of patient centered interventions to promote early effective AF self-management.

Abstract 150: Resource Utilization Patterns and Outcomes Among Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients: Findings From a Multi-Payer Analysis Poster Session II
Conclusion: These findings suggest that many patients with ACS do not receive appropriate recommended antithrombotic prophylaxis, and opportunities exist to improve therapy. Increased use of software tools such as AQuA may support enhanced education efforts aimed at improving adherence to guidelines and quality of care.
