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 195: Statin Use and Its Facility Level Variation in Patients With Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease: Insights From the Department of Veterans Affairs Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: The use of statin and especially guideline-recommended statin intensity is suboptimal in ICVD patients, especially patients without concomitant IHD or PAD. There is significant facility-level variation in receipt of guideline directed statin therapy in ICVD patients. Interventions are needed to improve guideline directed moderate to high-intensity statin use and reduce variation in care in this high risk group.

Abstract 140: Effects of Smoking Co-Morbidities and Obesity on NonHemorrhagic Stroke Outcomes Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: Smokers present with non-hemorrhagic stroke at a significantly younger age than non-smokers and die at much younger age during follow-up. While in our cohort smoking was not linked to other traditional risk factors for non-hemorrhagic stroke, it was associated with increased mortality in patients with decreased BMI, dyslipidemia, and with renal disease. "Protective" effect of increased BMI was not observed in smokers.

Abstract 150: Machine Learning Methodology Predicts Comorbidities are Associated With Increased Total Healthcare Costs Among Patients With Severe Peripheral Artery Disease Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: In this study, the presence of chronic ulcers in the lower extremities and CKD were two factors most predictive of increased all-cause total HC in a geographically diverse population of severe PAD patients.

Abstract 112: Adherence and Persistence with Statins in Patients with ASCVD Session Title: Abstract Poster Session I and Reception
Conclusions: While patients remained on their first statin (or ezetimibe) therapy for a substantial period of time, a large proportion of patients eventually discontinue therapy. Overall, adherence was high, indicating that ASCVD patients are compliant with their LLT. Interventions and new treatments to improve lipid lowering therapy seem necessary in patients with ASCVD.

Abstract 160: Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) Associated with Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and Comorbidities in Patients with Diabetes Session Title: Abstract Poster Session I and Reception
Conclusions: The results provided may be useful to estimate the impact of diabetes-related and CVD comorbid conditions on utility for public health and cost-effectiveness analyses. Limitations: Estimates reflect annual or chronic impacts because survey timing limited the ability to estimate acute effects. This research was unable to differentiate between type 1 and type 2 DM.

Abstract 244: Sex-based Differences in Economic and Health-related Burden of Depression on Adults With Cardiovascular Disease Session Title: Abstract Poster Session II
Conclusion: CVD patients, especially women, were more likely to have depression, and had considerable higher medical expenditures. The results reinforce the paramount importance of assessing and managing depression among those with CVD to favorably impact healthcare costs.

Clinical Prediction Models for Cardiovascular Disease: Tufts Predictive Analytics and Comparative Effectiveness Clinical Prediction Model Database Original Articles
Conclusions— There is an abundance of CPMs available for a wide assortment of cardiovascular disease conditions, with substantial redundancy in the literature. The comparative performance of these models, the consistency of effects and risk estimates across models and the actual and potential clinical impact of this body of literature is poorly understood.

Abstract 146: Clinical and Economic Consequences of Statin Intolerance in the U.S.: Results from an Integrated Health System Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: While the majority of SI patients were on a statin, SI patients demonstrate a higher risk of some cardiovascular events; incur higher healthcare costs; and difficulty reaching LDL-C goals compared to patients without SI. Alternative treatment strategies are needed to better serve this at-risk patient population.

Abstract 246: Potential for Healthy Survivor Bias Among Symptomatic Peripheral Artery Disease Patients with Long Follow-up: Comparing 1 Year Versus 3 Year Post-Index Outcomes Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: A comparative review of findings from these SPAD studies has revealed that the ‘healthy survivor’ bias may have led to an under-estimation of SPAD outcomes in the 1-year pre-/3-year post-index. A replication of the 1-year pre-/3-year post-index using a data source with mortality data is warranted.

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 101: Gender Has Differential Effects on Non-Hemorrhagic Stroke Outcomes Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: Men with non-hemorrhagic stroke were more likely to have dyslipidemia and history of coronary artery disease. This, however, did not translate into increased mortality in younger men.Gender appears to have a differential effect on non-hemorrhagic stroke outcomes which warrants future investigation.
