Eliminating Medication Copayments for Low-income Older Adults at High Cardiovascular Risk: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions: In low-income adults at high cardiovascular risk, eliminating copayments (average $35 a month) did not improve clinical outcomes or reduce healthcare costs, despite a modest improvement in adherence to medications.PMID:36871215 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.064188

Self-management Support Using Advertising Principles for Older Low Income Adults at High Cardiovascular Risk: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions: In low-income older adults, a tailored SMES program using advertising principles reduced the rate of clinical outcomes compared with usual care, though the mechanisms of improvement are unclear and further studies are required.PMID:36871212 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.064189

Effects of Vascular and Nonvascular Adverse Events and of Extended-Release Niacin With Laropiprant on Health and Healthcare Costs Original Articles
Conclusions— In HPS2-THRIVE, the addition of extended-release niacin–laropiprant to statin-based therapy reduced quality of life–adjusted survival and increased hospital costs. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00461630.

Blood pressure control and risk profile in poststroke survivors: a comparison with the general population
Conclusion: We found a high prevalence and poor control of major cardiovascular risk factors in patients surviving their first-ever ischemic stroke, thus showing poor implementation of guidelines for secondary prevention in clinical practice.

Abstract 146: Clinical and Economic Consequences of Statin Intolerance in the U.S.: Results from an Integrated Health System Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: While the majority of SI patients were on a statin, SI patients demonstrate a higher risk of some cardiovascular events; incur higher healthcare costs; and difficulty reaching LDL-C goals compared to patients without SI. Alternative treatment strategies are needed to better serve this at-risk patient population.

Abstract 251: Risk Factors for Recurrence of Cardiovascular Events Following Acute Coronary Syndrome: Longitudinal Analysis from 2006-2011 Poster Session III
Conclusion: Following an ACS event, patients with pre-admission statin use or a prior CABG had decreased risk, while older patients or those with baseline comorbidities had increased risk of an adverse CV event occurring sooner. Ultimately, identifying high-risk ACS subgroups may facilitate tailored and more aggressive treatment to improve outcomes.
