Abstract 175: Atrial Fibrillation in the USF Resident Clinics: Quality-Driven Medical Therapy Session Title: Poster Session AM
Patients with atrial fibrillation (afib) have a high rate of serious complications including stroke and decompensated heart failure. While patients with afib are five times more likely to suffer a stroke in their lifetime than the general population, this risk can be reduced by 64% with appropriate anticoagulation using warfarin or approved novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs). Reducing the morbidity and mortality from excess strokes is a common interest nationwide due to unsustainable healthcare costs, increasing human resource gaps in medicine, and payment reforms that hold physicians and healthcare organizations financiall...

Abstract 244: Sex-based Differences in Economic and Health-related Burden of Depression on Adults With Cardiovascular Disease Session Title: Abstract Poster Session II
Conclusion: CVD patients, especially women, were more likely to have depression, and had considerable higher medical expenditures. The results reinforce the paramount importance of assessing and managing depression among those with CVD to favorably impact healthcare costs.

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.
