Preeclampsia and Future Cardiovascular Health: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Original Article
Conclusions— Preeclampsia is associated with a 4-fold increase in future incident heart failure and a 2-fold increased risk in coronary heart disease, stroke, and death because of coronary heart or cardiovascular disease. Our study highlights the importance of lifelong monitoring of cardiovascular risk factors in women with a history of preeclampsia.

Glycemic Control for Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Our Evolving Faith in the Face of Evidence Original Articles
Conclusions— Discordance exists between the research evidence and academic and clinical policy statements about the value of tight glycemic control to reduce micro- and macrovascular complications. This discordance may distort priorities in the research and practice agendas designed to improve the lives of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract 22: Impact of CHA2DS2-VASc Risk Factors on Anticoagulant Prescription in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: Insights From the NCDR(R) PINNACLE Registry Session Title: Abstract Oral Session
Conclusions: Among this cohort of AF patients with an indication for OAC use, older age and HTN were strongly associated with greater OAC use whereas female gender and vascular disease were associated with less OAC use. Further investigation is needed to understand reasons for these differences in how risk factors influence decisions to provide OAC, such as patient or provider preference or gender bias.

Abstract 138: Contemporary Patterns of Use of Antiplatelet Agents in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: Insight From the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) Session Title: Abstract Poster Session I and Reception
Conclusions: Our contemporary dataset shows a modest but significant increase in use of ticagrelor early and at discharge, with simultaneous decline in the use of clopidogrel and prasugrel in patients presenting with AMI.

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 251: The Association Between Receipt of Healthcare Services and Post-stroke Hypertension Control Session Title: Abstract Poster Session II
We examined the receipt of health care services by patients in the one-year period following discharge for ischemic stroke.This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who were admitted for acute ischemic stroke at a Veterans Affairs hospital during year 2011 and who were discharged with a BP >140/90 mmHg. The following were reviewed: primary care visits; sub-specialty clinic visits; emergency department (ED) visits; hospitalizations; utilization of ancillary care (i.e., telehealth, pharmacy, nutrition services); medications upon discharge; adherence to medications and occurrence of recurrent stroke during the one-...

Quality of Care and Ischemic Stroke Risk After Hospitalization for Transient Ischemic Attack: Findings From Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Original Articles
Conclusions— TIA patients with high estimated ischemic stroke risk are less likely to receive defect-free care than low-risk patients. Standardized risk assessment and delivery of optimal inpatient care are needed to reduce this risk-treatment mismatch.

Conclusions— To sustain improvements in myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and mortality, health systems that have successfully focused on care improvement in high-risk adults with DM or CVD must broaden their improvement strategies to target lower risk adults who have not yet developed DM or CVD.

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.
