Abstract 252: Regional Variations in Access to Care Among U.S. Veterans With Cardiovascular Disease Session Title: Poster Session PM
Conclusions: In this observational study involving U.S. veterans with CVD, West region was independently associated with lower rates of medical checkup within the past year. Further large-scale studies examining the prevalence of impaired access to care in U.S. veterans with CVD are warranted.

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 204: Cardiovascular Mortality and Non-fatal Cardiovascular Events After Diagnosis of Acute Aortic Syndrome Session Title: Poster Session PM
Conclusions: AAS is associated with a higher overall mortality and an increased risk of any first time CV event, first time MI and HF that persists beyond the acute phase. These data highlight the risk of CV events among those with AAS and implicate the need for long-term cardiovascular management in these patients.

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.

Clinical Outcomes of Plavix and Generic Clopidogrel for Patients Hospitalized With an Acute Coronary Syndrome Original Articles
Conclusions: Generic clopidogrel was noninferior to Plavix with respect to the composite end point of death and recurrent hospitalization for ACS at 1 year among adults >65 years after an ACS hospitalization. Our findings support generic clopidogrel in ACS, which could lead to substantial healthcare cost savings.

Disparities in Management of Cardiovascular Disease in Rural South Africa: Data From the HAALSI Study (Health and Aging in Africa: Longitudinal Studies of International Network for the Demographic Evaluation of Populations and Their Health Communities) Original Articles
Conclusions— Currently, CVD is not being optimally managed in this rural area of South Africa. There are significant disparities in control of CVD risk factors by sex, socioeconomic status, and level of disability. Efforts to improve secondary prevention in this population should be focused on females, subjects from lower socioeconomic status, and those with physical disabilities.

Abstract 022: Assessing Attitudes and Treatment Preferences Among Patients With Hyperlipidemia: Patient Focus Groups Session Title: Poster Session I
Discussion: The frequent switching and side effects highlight significant unmet need in patients with HLD and dissatisfaction with statins among current and recent users, with and without a history of CV events. Results also suggest that a sizeable portion of patients with HLD may be willing to try an injectable CLD.

Abstract 043: Health Insurance and the Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Disease in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: The association of health insurance with CVD incidence varied by insurance group, and private insurance was associated with a lower risk of incident CVD. Further exploration of the features of health insurance coverage that impact CVD incidence may facilitate improvements in the primary prevention of CVD.

Abstract 089: Can Medical Claims Accurately Assess Cardiovascular and Bleeding Events in an All-Aged Post-Myocardial Infarction Population? Insights Fom the TRANSLATE-ACS Study Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: Event rates at 1 year were lower for MI, stroke and bleeding when using administrative claims to identify events in comparison with physician adjudication. Administrative claims diagnoses are modestly accurate in identifying recurrent MI and stroke admissions but have limited accuracy in identifying bleeding events, which suggests that an alternative approach is needed to ensure good safety surveillance in cardiovascular studies.

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 138: Impact of Depressive Disorder on Access to Care and Quality of Care in Veterans With Cardiovascular Disease Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: Depressive disorder was associated with higher rates of financial barriers to care and prescription drugs, and patient-reported delays in medical care in U.S. veterans with CVD. Further research appears warranted to evaluate the impact of mental health disease upon cardiovascular care in veterans with CVD.
