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.

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 204: Echocardiographic Evidence for Systemic Atherosclerosis, Atrial Fibrillation, and Long-Term Prognosis in Stroke Patients Session Title: Abstract Poster Session II
Conclusion: In patients with non-hemorrhagic stroke, cardiac and systemic evidence of atherosclerosis was strongly associated with atrial fibrillation and portended poor long-term prognosis. In stroke patients with cardiac and systemic evidence of atherosclerosis and rhythms other than atrial fibrillation, extended ECG monitoring may be warranted.

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-...

Conclusion: Despite association with decreased ejection fraction and lower aortic valve gradient, electrocardiographic conduction delays do not lead to inferior TAVR outcomes.

Abstract 140: Women of Color: Where Race/Ethnicity, Sex/Gender, Culture and History Affect Cardiovascular Health and Disparities Session Title: Poster Session I
The United States is in the midst of a historic demographic shift in its population that will have multiple societal impacts including healthcare issues. In 2043 it is predicted that the majority of the US population will be persons of color ("racial and ethnic minorities"). This new majority will be 53.4% of the nation by 2050. Of the 49 million uninsured in the US in 2011, 55% were persons of color who were only 33% of the population. Women of color are projected to increase in number from 57 million in 2010 to 107 million in 2050, from 36 percent to 53 percent of the total US female population. The Women of Color Health...

Abstract 144: Cost of Cardiovascular Disease Episodes among Patients with Hypertension Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: Cost estimates of CVD episodes among hypertensive patients are consistent with results from the scarce literature in this area. Moreover, our study finds evidence of increased medical resource utilization weeks before the recording of the CVD episode. Omitting these pre-event costs leads to an underestimate of the true costs of CVD.

Abstract 206: Aiming to Improve Stroke Care Continuity with Primary Care Follow-up Appointments Scheduled Prior to Hospital Discharge Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: Hospital performance with scheduling primary care follow-up appointments improved significantly; however, only 1 in 4 patients had an appointment scheduled prior to discharge. Case study analysis of missed opportunities may help identify barriers and facilitators associated with access, availability, and awareness that can be addressed in future improvement cycles.

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 18: Determinants of Adequate Blood Pressure Control in Stroke Patients Post-Discharge Session Title: Concurrent Session IIC: Oral Abstracts - Stroke
Conclusions: Contrary to our hypothesis, once daily dosed BP medications did not improve the effectiveness of BP control at follow-up. Elevated SBP at the time of hospital discharge was associated with poor blood pressure control. Those patients receiving outpatient home health and therapy visits after hospital discharge had better blood pressure control. Further studies need to be done to assess medication adherence to determine whether the poor control was related to choice of medication or patient medication-taking behavior.

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.
