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 47: Presentation and Outcomes of Women Veterans with Suspected Ischemia and Nonobstructive Coronary Artery Disease: Insights from the VA Clinical Assessment Reporting and Tracking Program. Poster Session I
Conclusion: Between October 2007 and September 2011, 23% of women veterans undergoing catheterization for suspected ischemia had non-obstructive CAD. In contrast to non-VA studies, adverse clinical outcomes and re-hospitalization rates for chest pain were less frequent. These findings may represent systematic differences in treatment and follow-up care of women veterans between VA and non-VA healthcare systems.

Abstract 241: Design and Clinical Outcomes of INSTOR (Interventional Stroke Therapy Outcomes Registry) Poster Session II
Conclusions: INSTOR presents instant online graphical and numerical results including "door to CT", "door to IV tPA", "time for return of laboratory results" and "time to angiography", etc. Process trends are presented with graphed monthly median data points overlain by a logistic regression trend line. The computerized multisite database also has the capability of automatically sending text massage or email reminders to designated recipients for follow-up events such as discharge information or 90-day mRS. INSTOR instantly performs complex multifactorial analyses of numerous measures of clinical outcomes for both IV tPA a...
