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 253: The Association of Socioeconomic Status With Elevation of N-terminal Pro-b-type Natriuretic Peptide Session Title: Abstract Poster Session II
Conclusions: Low SES (particularly low income) was associated with elevated level of NT-pro-BNP. Targeting low SES individuals might be helpful in early identification of high risk population for cardiac overload.

Field Synopsis of Sex in Clinical Prediction Models for Cardiovascular Disease Original Articles
Conclusions— Although CPMs hold promise for supporting sex-specific decision making in CVD clinical care, sex effects are included in only one third of published CPMs.

Effects of Vascular and Nonvascular Adverse Events and of Extended-Release Niacin With Laropiprant on Health and Healthcare Costs Original Articles
Conclusions— In HPS2-THRIVE, the addition of extended-release niacin–laropiprant to statin-based therapy reduced quality of life–adjusted survival and increased hospital costs. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00461630.

Abstract 127: Differences in Care Patterns, Health Status, and Outcomes of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With and Without Diabetes: Findings From the ORBIT-AF Registry Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: Among patients with AF, diabetes was associated with worse AF symptoms and lower quality of life, as well an increased risk of death and hospitalizations, but not with the risk of thromboembolic or bleeding events.

Abstract 137: Clinical Outcomes After Cardiac Stress Testing Among U.S. Patients Younger Than 65, 2006-2012 Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: The percentage of commercially insured U.S. patients who had an AMI or revascularization event within 1 year of stress testing was small. In the lowest risk quintile, the a priori prevalence of coronary disease risk factors was low, and the rates of subsequent AMI and revascularization was extremely low, raising questions about the value of stress testing in this subgroup.

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.

Abstract 239: A Field Synopsis of the Role of Race in Clinical Prediction Models for Cardiovascular Disease Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: Race/ethnicity is rarely included in CVD-related CPMs, although racial and ethnic differences in outcome risk have been documented for many conditions, and several commonly used CPMs include race. Model development from cohorts including greater numbers of non-white patients may uncover additional or more consistent racial/ethnic effects.

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.
