Survival and Quality of Life for Nonagenarians After Cardiac Surgery ORIGINAL ARTICLES: ADULT CARDIAC
Conclusions Survival in nonagenarians is comparable after CABG or valve surgery. Redo surgery, stroke, and increasing age are significant hazards for mortality. Nonagenarians can undergo cardiac surgery with acceptable mortality and quality of life.

Coronary artery bypass grafting vs percutaneous coronary intervention in a 'real-world' setting: a comparative effectiveness study based on propensity score-matched cohorts ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS In the ‘real-world’ setting of this study, CABG was associated with significantly lower rates of death, MI and TVR in patients with LMCA or multivessel disease, so it remains the standard of care, particularly for patients with more extensive coronary disease and diabetes.

Study may bust myth of 'fat and fit' healthy obesity
Conclusion This meta-analysis provides further evidence about the known risk factors for cardiovascular disease and mortality. What this study adds is the indication that people who are metabolically unhealthy regardless of their weight are at increased risk. However, interestingly, no increase in risk was seen for the category of people who are metabolically healthy though overweight. A strength of this meta-analysis is the large sample size. However, the results should be interpreted with caution as: The studies did not use the same criteria for assessing metabolic status. The studies did not use the same criteri...

Relation of Major Depression to Survival After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
In conclusion, we found a strong and significant association between depression and long-term survival in patients with established ischemic heart disease who underwent CABG. Depression was also associated with an increased risk for a combination of death or rehospitalization for heart failure, myocardial infarction, or stroke.

089 * innominate artery cannulation for proximal aortic surgery: outcomes and neurologic events in 263 patients
Conclusion: Innominate artery cannulation can be performed safely and poses a low risk of neurologic events in procedures requiring hypothermic circulatory arrest. This artery may be considered the optimal perfusion site for delivering ACP.

Prevalence and impact of carotid disease in adult Saudi patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass surgery on early postoperative outcome
The aim of the study is to assess the prevalence of carotid disease in our Saudi population undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery and to determine its impact on stroke and early postoperative outcome. A total of 3197 consecutive adult patients underwent major cardiac surgery in our center between January 2002 and December 2012. Of these, 3150 had preoperative duplex scanning, and out of these, 210 patients (6.6%) had significant carotid artery disease defined as ≥75% stenosis (Group A), whereas 2940 (94.4%) were free from carotid artery disease (Group B). Both groups were compared for the presence of preoperative ri...

Coronary Artery Surgery Versus Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Octogenarians: Long-Term Results
Conclusions In this real-world setting, surgical coronary revascularization remains the standard of care for patients with left main or multivessel disease. The long-term outcomes of current percutaneous coronary intervention technology in octogenarians are yet to be determined with adequately powered prospective randomized studies.

Detrimental predictive effect of metabolic syndrome on postoperative complications in patients who undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

Abstract 166: Developing the Veterans Affairs Cardiac Risk Score Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: We demonstrated that an EHR in a specific population could risk-stratify patients as well those from as organized cohort studies and greatly improve calibration. Further, our finding that the ASCVD score greatly underpredicted in our population, while previous work have reported the ASCVD over-predictind in other cohorts, suggests that rather than arguing about which risk tool is best, our patients may be better served by us focusing on calibrating CV risk tools for our specific patient population using their EHR data.

Abstract 307: Gender Differences in Recurrent Cardiovascular Events Among High-risk Patients With Hyperlipidemia Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusions: Among high-risk patients (i.e. history of CV events) enrolled in US health plans, women were more likely to have a subsequent CV event and multiple CV events sooner than men. Further research is needed to ascertain whether the gender differences might reflect differences in the intensity of treatment for hyperlipidemia between men and women.

Impact of anemia on long-term outcomes in patients treated with first and second-generation drug-eluting stents Katowice-Zabrze Registry.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with anemia is significant higher risk of death in the 12-month follow-up, while anemia has no impact on the incidence of MI, repeat revascularization, and stroke. There is no advantage DES II over DES I generation in terms of MACCE and TVR in patients with anemia. PMID: 26575311 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Estimating the economic burden of cardiovascular events in patients receiving lipid-modifying therapy in the UK
Conclusions Revascularisation and myocardial infarction were associated with the highest incremental costs following a CV event. On the basis of real-world data, the economic burden of CV events in the UK is substantial, particularly among those with greater comorbidity burden.
