Abstract 155: Prevalence and Clinical Correlates of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy by Sokolow-Lyon and Cornell Electrocardiogram Voltage Criteria in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Patients Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: The presence of LVH by Sokolow-Lyon and Cornell ECG voltage criteria poorly correlates with the presence of LVH and critical aortic stenosis in TAVR patients. Women are more likely to have voltage criteria for LVH. Therefore, ECG may not be a suitable method of screening patients with severe aortic stenosis for LVH, especially in men.

Abstract 136: Impact of Abnormal Ventricular Conduction on TAVR Outcomes Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: Despite association with decreased ejection fraction and lower aortic valve gradient, electrocardiographic conduction delays do not lead to inferior TAVR outcomes.

Abstract 223: Patients With Cardiac Comorbidities Carry Worse Outcome as Identified by Our SELF Risk Stratification Pathway: An ACAP-SELF Syncope Dataset Analysis Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: Using the SELF-pathway for patients presenting with syncope effectively identifies high risk patients who merit hospitalization and close follow-up post-discharge. These include patients with structural heart disease, abnormal EKG and abnormal telemetry, as well as patients with diabetes, CAD and CHF. This has important implications for the evaluation of a common disease that poses a significant economic burden on healthcare systems.

Abstract 10: Contraindications to Oral Anticoagulation in the Outcomes Registry for Better Informed Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation (ORBIT-AF) Concurrent I Session B: Oral Abstract Presentations on Stroke Topics
Conclusions. Contraindications to OAC therapy among AF patients are common and often due to high bleeding risk. Furthermore, many patients with reported contraindications are taking warfarin, suggesting that many contraindications to warfarin therapy are minor, relative, or temporary.
