Abstract 131: Recurrent Acute Cardiovascular Events and Statin Use Session Title: Poster Session AM
Conclusion: While statin use substantially increased after an index CV event, nearly 40% of patients remained untreated, increasing their recurrent CV event risk by 76%. Initiation and continuation of statin therapy after CV events remains a large public health opportunity for patients with ASCVD.

Abstract 11: Compliance With Risk Factor Optimization and Medical Therapy in Patients With Peripheral Vascular Disease (Peripheral Artery and Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease) Compared to Ischemic Heart Disease. Session Title: Concurrent Session IIB: Oral Abstracts - Quality of Care
Conclusions: Compliance with OMT was low in all patients. Patients with PAD or ICVD were less likely to receive OMT compared with IHD. Our results suggest potential for improvement in OMT for all CVD patients especially those with PAD and ICVD.

Abstract 201: Gemfibrozil In Combination With Statin Is Associated With Reduction In All Cause Mortality: A Retrospective Cohort Study Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: Combination of gemfibrozil with statin is associated with greater reduction in all cause mortality compared to statins alone.Keywords: gemfibrozil, mortality

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.
