Medical therapy does not confer stroke prevention for all patients; identification of high-risk patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis is still needed.
CONCLUSIONS: Prophylactic CR + BMT does not provide overall late stroke prevention compared with BMT alone. Diabetics with a history of stroke, in particular, are at an increased risk of stroke despite BMT. Timely CR + BMT for high-risk patients is still indicated.

Early prognostic value of nocturnal blood pressure: a single-centre experience
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is now considered by current guidelines to be a reliable method of measurement for the diagnosis and assessment of hypertension. The aim of this study was to relate the short-term outcomes, comorbidity and ABPM findings determined from evaluating an everyday clinical cohort of hypertensive patients. A prospective study was carried out that included hypertensive patients who had undergone 24-h ABPM from January 2016 to November 2017. The following parameters were recorded in the database: age, sex, current antihypertensive treatment and documented history of comorbidities. New epi...

Comparison of Stroke Risk Stratification Scores for Atrial Fibrillation
Several stroke risk stratification scores have been developed to guide clinical decision making in patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc and R2CHADS2 risk scores to predict stroke.This retrospective cohort study was based on electronic medical records from Clalit Health Services (CHS), the largest payer provider healthcare organization in Israel. Data of CHS members with AF diagnosis between 2004- 2015 were extracted.

Cardiovascular Risk in Mild to Moderately Decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate, Diabetes and Coronary Heart Disease in a Southern European Region
ConclusionsIn 60- to 84-year-olds with eGFR = 30-59, similarly to DM, the likelihood of being admitted to hospital for CHD and CVD was about half that of individuals with established CHD. Thus, eGFR = 30-59 does not appear to be a coronary-risk equivalent. Individuals with CHD and DM, or eGFR = 30-59 plus DM, should be prioritized for more intensive risk management.ResumenIntroducción y objetivosSe considera que los individuos con disminución leve-moderada de la tasa de filtrado glomerular estimada (TFGe, 30-59 ml/min/1,73 m2) están en alto riesgo de enfermedad cardiovascular (ECV). ...

Interdisciplinary Models for Research and Clinical Endeavors in Genomic Medicine: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association AHA Scientific Statement
The completion of the Human Genome Project has unleashed a wealth of human genomics information, but it remains unclear how best to implement this information for the benefit of patients. The standard approach of biomedical research, with researchers pursuing advances in knowledge in the laboratory and, separately, clinicians translating research findings into the clinic as much as decades later, will need to give way to new interdisciplinary models for research in genomic medicine. These models should include scientists and clinicians actively working as teams to study patients and populations recruited in clinical settin...

Treatment patterns and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goal attainment among patients receiving high- or moderate-intensity statins
ConclusionsMajority of ASCVD patients had LDL-C  ≥ 70 mg/dL while on moderate-/high-intensity statins. Despite low LDL-C goal attainment, few patients changed their treatment regimens.

Incidence of thromboembolic and bleeding events in patients with newly diagnosed nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: An Asian multicenter retrospective cohort study in Singapore
ConclusionsSAPT and DAPT are less effective than warfarin in NVAF patients. DOACs may be considered in view of lower risk of overall bleed.

CHADS2 and modified CHA2DS2-VASc scores for the prediction of congestive heart failure in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
Conclusion Calculation of the CHADS2 and mCHA2DS2-VASc scores in order to evaluate the risk of systemic thromboembolism was useful to predict the onset of CHF, but not all-cause death, in patients with NVAF.

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.

Prasugrel Use in Real Life: A Report From the Outpatient Setting in France
The objective of this study was to provide descriptive statistics on patterns of prasugrel usage in the outpatient setting in France. This retrospective study was conducted to describe treatment patterns for prasugrel in the outpatient setting in France using the Intercontinental Marketing Services (IMS) Disease Analyzer database, which collates electronic medical records updated by a nationally representative database of 1200 French general practitioners (GPs). Anonymous data were collected prospectively at each follow‐up visit. The study population consisted of patients with ≥1 prescription for prasugrel in the outpa...

Impact of Switching From Prasugrel to Clopidogrel Shortly After a Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Without a Loading Dose of Clopidogrel.
CONCLUSIONS: In this small, retrospective analysis, the results of loading patients with prasugrel for PCI and switching them to clopidogrel without a loading dose appear to be encouraging. PMID: 26378415 [PubMed - in process]

A Simple and Portable Algorithm for Identifying Atrial Fibrillation in the Electronic Medical Record
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common and increases stroke risk and mortality. Many knowledge gaps remain with respect to practice patterns and outcomes. Electronic medical records (EMR) may serve as powerful research tools if AF status can be properly ascertained. We sought to develop an algorithm for identifying individuals with and without AF in the EMR and compare it to previous methods. Using a hospital network EMR (n=5,737,846), we randomly selected 8,200 individuals seen at a large academic medical center in January 2014 to derive and validate seven AF classification schemas (4 case and 3 control) in order to construct...

Predictors of acute kidney injury after coronary artery surgery in Jordanians
Conclusion Emergency coronary surgery, mitral regurgitation, prolonged inotropic support, and stroke or transient ischemic attack are independent predictors of acute kidney injury following coronary bypass surgery. Further studies involving patients with isolated coronary bypass surgery as well as valve and combined surgeries may be necessary to complete our understanding of this subject.
