Abstract 249: Economic Outcomes for Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome Managed with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Receiving Prasugrel or Ticagrelor: A Retrospective US Hospital Database Analysis Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: Economic outcomes of ACS-PCI pts receiving pras were similar to ticag for the primary population with significant savings in total and medical costs for pts without prior TIA or stroke. These data indicate that ticag has no economic advantage compared with pras in routine clinical practice.

Abstract 263: The Risk of Stroke or Systemic Embolism for Antithrombotic Treatment Episodes among Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation (NVAF) Patients Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: Warfarin TTR ≥55% was associated with the greatest reduction in stroke/SE among the antithrombotic treatment groups examine here. Future studies should examine modifiable factors to improve outcomes for patients with warfarin TTR <55% or those who are off antithrombotic therapy.

Abstract 304: Nonfatal Outcomes Following Incident Atrial Fibrillation: A Community Study Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusions: In the community, adverse outcomes are frequent after AF, and HF occurs more frequently than IS/TIA. Risk factors differed for IS/TIA and HF, suggesting that pathways to the occurrence of these outcomes, as well as prevention strategies, may differ. Finally, the occurrence of these outcomes did not decline over the last decade, highlighting the importance of continued rigorous surveillance of adverse outcomes in AF.

Abstract 312: Anatomic Runoff Score Predicts Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients with Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusions: After adjustment for clinical factors, the LE-PAD anatomic runoff score, age and indication for procedure were the most significant predictors of future cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a broadly-representative patient population undergoing revascularization for symptomatic PAD. The use of a clinically useful anatomic scoring system, if validated, may assist clinicians in risk-stratifying patients during the course of clinical decision-making.

Abstract 320: Healthcare Resource Utilization Among Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome Managed with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Using Prasugrel or Ticagrelor: A Retrospective Database Analysis Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusions: All-cause rehospitalizations at 30-and 90-days post discharge in ACS-PCI pts were non-inferior with pras vs. ticag in all 3 cohorts. Pras was associated with significantly lower risk for 90-day all-cause rehospitalizations compared with ticag in the label and core cohorts, which are the majority of pts receiving pras. Although there appears to be inherent bias and unmeasured confounders related to use of pras vs. ticag, these data show reductions in HCRU with pras compared with ticag in the real-world setting at 30- and 90-days post-discharge.

Abstract 335: Population Well-being and Cardiovascular Disease Session Title: Poster Session III
Discussion: Population well-being is associated with reduced CVD and improved CV health, even at the CD level. Future research should investigate these relationships within smaller more homogeneous community populations, in order to identify targets for intervention.

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.

Conclusions: Age, occlusion site, high NIHSS, diabetes, not receiving IV t-PA, use of rescue therapy and three or more passes, were associated with poor 90-day outcome despite successful recanalization.

Abstract 376: African-American Patients Presenting with Unexplained Syncope Have Significantly Worse Outcome Compared to Other Races: An ACAP-SELF Dataset Analysis Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusions: AA who are admitted with unexplained syncope are identified according to the SELF pathway as high risk group that can likely be attributed to the presence of comorbidities and warrants hospitalization for further work-up and optimizing medical management.

Abstract 15: Frequency and Predictors of Inappropriate Aspirin Prescribing for Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease: Insights from the NCDR(R) PINNACLE Registry. Session Title: Concurrent I Session C: Young Investigator Award Finalists Oral Abstract Presentations
Conclusion: Inappropriate aspirin prescribing occurs in approximately one third of patients receiving aspirin for primary prevention. There is modest but significant practice-level variation. Our findings identify opportunities to improve evidence-based aspirin prescribing in primary CVD prevention.

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.

Abstract 178: Females with Cardiac Comorbidities Have Worse Outcome Compared to Males Presenting with Unexplained Syncope: An ACAP-SELF Dataset Analysis Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: The SELF-pathway for patients with syncope helps identify at-risk subgroups in our patient population. Females with SELF-2 criteria (Structural heart disease, abnormal ECG, arrhythmia) had significantly worse long-term outcome compared to males regardless of manner of syncopal presentation.

Abstract 207: Gender Differences in Pre-Event Health Status of Young Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction: Insights from the VIRGO Study Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: Young women with an AMI have poorer health status prior to their event than men. This suggests worse symptom control prior to an AMI and underscores the need to adjust for baseline health status in evaluations of gender-based disparities in young AMI patients.

Abstract 223: Patients With Cardiac Comorbidities Carry Worse Outcome as Identified by Our SELF Risk Stratification Pathway: An ACAP-SELF Syncope Dataset Analysis Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: Using the SELF-pathway for patients presenting with syncope effectively identifies high risk patients who merit hospitalization and close follow-up post-discharge. These include patients with structural heart disease, abnormal EKG and abnormal telemetry, as well as patients with diabetes, CAD and CHF. This has important implications for the evaluation of a common disease that poses a significant economic burden on healthcare systems.
