BACKGROUND: The incidence, predictors, and prognostic impact of post-discharge bleeding (PDB) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation are unclear.

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to characterize the determinants and consequences of PDB after PCI.

METHODS: The prospective ADAPT-DES (Assessment of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy With Drug-Eluting Stents) study was used to determine the incidence and predictors of clinically relevant bleeding events occurring within 2 years after hospital discharge. The effect of PDB on subsequent 2-year all-cause mortality was estimated by time-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression.

RESULTS: Among 8,582 "all-comers" who underwent successful PCI with DES in the ADAPT-DES …

Outcomes Of Comatose Cardiac Arrest Survivors With And Without St-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Importance Of Coronary Angiography., Karl B Kern, Kapildeo Lotun, Nainesh Patel, Michael R Mooney, Ryan D Hollenbeck, John A Mcpherson, Paul W Mcmullan, Barbara Unger, Chiu-Hsieh Hsu, David B Seder

Nainesh C Patel MD

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare outcomes and coronary angiographic findings in post-cardiac arrest patients with and without ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). BACKGROUND: The 2013 STEMI guidelines recommend performing immediate angiography in resuscitated patients whose initial electrocardiogram shows STEMI. The optimal approach for those without STEMI post-cardiac arrest is less clear. METHODS: A retrospective evaluation of a post-cardiac arrest registry was performed. RESULTS: The database consisted of 746 comatose post-cardiac arrest patients including 198 with STEMI (26.5%) and 548 without STEMI (73.5%). Overall survival was greater in those with STEMI compared with those without (55.1% vs. …

Risk Of Heart Failure And Death After Prolonged Smoking Cessation: Role Of Amount And Duration Of Prior Smoking., Amiya A Ahmed, Kanan Patel, Margaret A Nyaku, Raya E Kheirbek, Vera Bittner, Gregg C Fonarow, Gerasimos S Filippatos, Charity J Morgan, Inmaculada Aban, Marjan Mujib, Ravi Desai, Richard M Allman, Michel White, Prakash Deedwania, George Howard, Robert O Bonow, Ross D Fletcher, Wilbert S Aronow, Ali Ahmed

Ravi V Desai MD

BACKGROUND: -According to the 2004 Surgeon General's Report on Health Consequences of Smoking, after >15 years of abstinence, the cardiovascular risk of former smokers becomes similar to that of never-smokers. Whether this health benefit of smoking cessation varies by amount and duration of prior smoking remains unclear.

METHODS AND RESULTS: -Of the 4482 adults ≥65 years without prevalent heart failure (HF) in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), 2556 were never-smokers, 629 current smokers, and 1297 former smokers with >15 years of cessation, of whom 312 were heavy smokers (highest quartile; ≥32 pack-years). Age-sex-race-adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) and 95% confidence intervals …

Mifepristone Utilization In Cushing’S From Large Bilateral Adrenal Adenoma Prior To Surgery, Vasudev Magaji, Sarah Park, Katie Mastoris, Maura Bucciarelli, Scott Beman

Vasudev G Magaji MD, MS

Utilization of mifepristone was described to mitigate hypercortisolism from bilateral adrenal Cushing’s syndrome. A 47-year-old female on abdominal pain evaluation with CT was found to have a 5.4 × 1.7 × 4.9 cm right adrenal nodule and a 4.3 × 2.9 × 3.3 cm left adrenal nodule with calcification on CT scan with each having density of -3 Housefield units. She had hypercortisolism with testing revealing high urine free cortisol, unsuppressed cortisol on 1 mg and 8 mg overnight dexamethasone suppression testing, high 11 pm salivary cortisol × 2 along with elevated random cortisol and undetectable ACTH. Her DHEA-S, plasma …

Use Of An Electronic Medical Record (Emr) To Identify Glycemic Intensification Strategies In Type 2 Diabetes., Mary T Korytkowski, Maria Brooks, Manuel Lombardero, Dilhari Dealmeida, Justin Kanter, Vasudev Magaji, Trevor Orchard, Linda Siminerio

Vasudev G Magaji MD, MS

Current treatment guidelines for type 2 diabetes (T2D) recommend individualized intensification of therapy for glycated hemoglobin (A1C) ≥ 7% in most patients. The purpose of this investigation was to explore the ability of an electronic medical record (EMR) to identify glycemic intensification strategies among T2D patients receiving pharmacologic therapy. Patient records between 2005 and 2011 with documentation of A1C and active prescriptions for any diabetes medications were queried to identify potential candidates for intensification based on A1C ≥ 7% while on 1-2 oral diabetes medications (ODM). Patients with follow-up A1C values within 1 year of index A1C were grouped according …
