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.

Association of Patient Enrollment in Medicare Part D With Outcomes After Acute Myocardial Infarction Original Articles
Conclusions— Only half of Medicare-insured patients with AMI were enrolled in Part D by hospital discharge, and their 30-day and 1-year adjusted outcomes did not differ substantially from nonenrollees. There remain opportunities for improvement in medication adherence among patients with prescription drug coverage.

Long-Term Effect of Fee-For-Service-Based Reimbursement Cuts on Processes and Outcomes of Care for Stroke: Interrupted Time-Series Study From Taiwan Original Articles
Conclusions— There are improvement trends in processes and outcomes of care over time. However, the reimbursement cuts from the FFS-based global budget cap are associated with trend changes in processes and outcomes of care for stroke. The FFS-based reimbursement cuts may have long-term positive and negative associations with stroke care.

Abstract 150: Resource Utilization Patterns and Outcomes Among Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients: Findings From a Multi-Payer Analysis Poster Session II
Conclusion: These findings suggest that many patients with ACS do not receive appropriate recommended antithrombotic prophylaxis, and opportunities exist to improve therapy. Increased use of software tools such as AQuA may support enhanced education efforts aimed at improving adherence to guidelines and quality of care.

Abstract 236: Poor Recurrent Stroke Prevention Knowledge in High Risk Stroke Survivors Poster Session II
Stroke is highly prevalent. Control of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and appropriate antithrombotic use are important in preventing recurrent stroke. Inadequate control of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and poor stroke knowledge among transient ischemic attack (TIA) and stroke survivors impact stroke recurrence.We used a community-based participatory approach to recruit TIA/stroke survivors from community and clinical sites into a randomized controlled stroke prevention educational intervention trial. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of baseline survey responses describing demographics, clinical characteristics, an...
