D-Meson Azimuthal Anisotropy in Midcentral Pb-Pb Collisions at sqrt[s]_{NN}=5.02 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2018; 120:102301. [PMID: 29570314 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.120.102301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2017] [Revised: 11/16/2017] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
The azimuthal anisotropy coefficient v_{2} of prompt D^{0}, D^{+}, D^{*+}, and D_{s}^{+} mesons was measured in midcentral (30%-50% centrality class) Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV, with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The D mesons were reconstructed via their hadronic decays at midrapidity, |y|<0.8, in the transverse momentum interval 1<p_{T}<24 GeV/c. The measured D-meson v_{2} has similar values as that of charged pions. The D_{s}^{+} v_{2}, measured for the first time, is found to be compatible with that of nonstrange D mesons. The measurements are compared with theoretical calculations of charm-quark transport in a hydrodynamically expanding medium and have the potential to constrain medium parameters.

Gender differences in the association between discharge hemoglobin and 12-month mortality after acute myocardial infarction. Clin Cardiol 2017; 40:1279-1284. [PMID: 29247532 DOI: 10.1002/clc.22824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2017] [Revised: 09/18/2017] [Accepted: 09/22/2017] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anemia at discharge in patients with acute myocardial infarction is associated with poor prognosis; whether this differs in women and men or if there is a threshold value at which these relationships change is unknown. HYPOTHESIS Women have a lower discharge hemoglobin (Hb) at which outcomes worsen. METHODS We identified patients with acute myocardial infarction in the TRIUMPH registry between 2005 and 2008. In multivariable models, we evaluated the relationship between discharge Hb and 12-month mortality and tested whether this relationship varied by gender. We assessed whether the relationship with discharge Hb values was nonlinear using a restricted cubic spline term. RESULTS Of 4243 patients with AMI, 32.9% were female. Mean admission Hb was 12.9 ± 1.9 g/dL in women and 14.5 ± 2.0 g/dL in men, with mean discharge Hb 11.4 ± 1.8 g/dL and 12.9 ± 1.9 g/dL, respectively. Lower discharge Hb was independently associated with increased mortality (P < 0.05). In multivariable models, discharge Hb decline was similarly associated with increased 12-month mortality in women and men (per 1-g/dL decrease Hb; women HR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.09-1.42, P < 0.01; and men HR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.13-1.37, P < 0.01; P for gender interaction = 0.99). The relationship between discharge Hb and 12-month mortality was linear (P for nonlinear spline term = 0.12). CONCLUSIONS Lower discharge Hb levels were similarly associated with increased 12-month mortality in women and men. These relationships are linear without a clear threshold, suggesting any decline in discharge Hb is associated with poor outcomes.

Abstract
We report a precise measurement of the J/ψ elliptic flow in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The J/ψ mesons are reconstructed at midrapidity (|y|<0.9) in the dielectron decay channel and at forward rapidity (2.5<y<4.0) in the dimuon channel, both down to zero transverse momentum. At forward rapidity, the elliptic flow v_{2} of the J/ψ is studied as a function of the transverse momentum and centrality. A positive v_{2} is observed in the transverse momentum range 2<p_{T}<8 GeV/c in the three centrality classes studied and confirms with higher statistics our earlier results at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV in semicentral collisions. At midrapidity, the J/ψ v_{2} is investigated as a function of the transverse momentum in semicentral collisions and found to be in agreement with the measurements at forward rapidity. These results are compared to transport model calculations. The comparison supports the idea that at low p_{T} the elliptic flow of the J/ψ originates from the thermalization of charm quarks in the deconfined medium but suggests that additional mechanisms might be missing in the models.

Abstract
Importance While there is increasing emphasis on incorporating patient-reported outcome measures in routine care for patients with heart failure (HF), how best to interpret longitudinally collected patient-reported outcome measures is unknown. Objective To examine the strength of association between prior, current, or a change in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) scores with death and hospitalization in patients with HF with preserved (HFpEF) and reduced (HFrEF) ejection fractions. Design, Setting, and Participants Secondary analyses of the Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure With an Aldosterone Antagonist (TOPCAT) trial of 1372 patients with HFpEF, conducted between August 2006 and January 2012, and the HF-ACTION trial that included 1669 patients with HFrEF, conducted between April 2003 and February 2007. Exposures Prior, current, and change in KCCQ Overall Summary scores (KCCQ-os) in 5-point increments (higher scores indicate better health status). Main Outcomes and Measures Time to cardiovascular death/first HF hospitalization (primary outcome) and all-cause death (secondary outcome). Results Of 1767 eligible TOPCAT participants, 882 were women (49.9%), and the mean (SD) age was 71.5 (9.7) years. Of 2130 eligible HF-ACTION participants, 599 were women (28.1%), and the mean age was 58.6 (12.7) years. Each 5-point difference in prior or current KCCQ-os scores was associated with a 6% (95% CI, 4%-8%; P < .001) to 9% (95% CI, 7%-11%; P < .001) lower risk for subsequent cardiovascular death/first HF hospitalization in patients with HFpEF and 6% (95% CI, 4%-9%; P < .001) to 8% (95% CI, 5%-10%; P < .001) lower risk for subsequent cardiovascular death/first HF hospitalization in patients with HRpEF and HFrEF in unadjusted analyses. Results were similar for change in KCCQ-os. In models with the prior and current KCCQ-os, only the current KCCQ-os was significantly associated with 10% (95% CI, 7%-12%; P < .001) and 7% (95% CI, 3%-11%; P < .001) lower risk for subsequent cardiovascular death/first HF hospitalization in patients with HFpEF and HFrEF, respectively. Similar results were observed when the current and Δ KCCQ-os were considered together, when adjusted for important patient and treatment characteristics, when including 3 sequential KCCQ-os scores, and when examining all-cause death as the outcome. Conclusions and Relevance In serial health status evaluations of patients with HF, the most recent KCCQ score was most strongly associated with subsequent death and cardiovascular hospitalization in HFpEF and HFrEF. Measuring serial patient-reported outcome measures in the clinical care of patients with HF can provide an updated assessment of prognosis. Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00094302 (TOPCAT) and NCT00047437 (HF-ACTION).

Abstract
The risk difference is an intelligible measure for comparing disease incidence in two exposure or treatment groups. Despite its convenience in interpretation, it is less prevalent in epidemiological and clinical areas where regression models are required in order to adjust for confounding. One major barrier to its popularity is that standard linear binomial or Poisson regression models can provide estimated probabilities out of the range of (0,1), resulting in possible convergence issues. For estimating adjusted risk differences, we propose a general framework covering various constraint approaches based on binomial and Poisson regression models. The proposed methods span the areas of ordinary least squares, maximum likelihood estimation, and Bayesian inference. Compared to existing approaches, our methods prevent estimates and confidence intervals of predicted probabilities from falling out of the valid range. Through extensive simulation studies, we demonstrate that the proposed methods solve the issue of having estimates or confidence limits of predicted probabilities out of (0,1), while offering performance comparable to its alternative in terms of the bias, variability, and coverage rates in point and interval estimation of the risk difference. An application study is performed using data from the Prospective Registry Evaluating Myocardial Infarction: Event and Recovery (PREMIER) study.

Personalizing the Intensity of Blood Pressure Control: Modeling the Heterogeneity of Risks and Benefits From SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial). Circ Cardiovasc Qual Outcomes 2017; 10:CIRCOUTCOMES.117.003624. [PMID: 28373269 DOI: 10.1161/circoutcomes.117.003624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2017] [Accepted: 03/02/2017] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial), patients with hypertension and high cardiovascular risk treated with intensive blood pressure (BP) control (<120 mm Hg) had fewer major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and deaths but higher rates of treatment-related serious adverse events (SAE) than patients randomized to standard BP control (<140 mm Hg). However, the degree of benefit or harm for an individual patient could vary because of heterogeneity in treatment effect. METHODS AND RESULTS Using patient-level data from 9361 randomized patients in SPRINT, we developed models to predict risk for MACE or death and treatment-related SAE to allow for individualized BP treatment goals based on each patient's projected risk and benefit of intensive versus standard BP control. Models were internally validated using bootstrap resampling and externally validated on 4741 patients from the ACCORD-BP (The Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes blood pressure) trial. Among 9361 SPRINT patients, 755 patients (8.1%) had a MACE or death event and 338 patients (3.6%) had a treatment-related SAE during a median follow-up of 3.3 years. The MACE/death and the SAE model had C statistics of 0.72 and 0.70, respectively, in the derivation cohort and 0.69 and 0.65 in ACCORD. The MACE/death model had 10 variables including treatment interactions with age, baseline systolic BP, and diastolic BP, and the SAE model had 8 variables including treatment interaction with number of BP medications. Intensive BP treatment was associated with a mean 2.2±2.6% lower risk of MACE/death compared with standard treatment (range, 20.7% lower risk to 19.6% greater risk among individual patients) and a mean 2.2±1.2% higher risk for SAEs (range, 0.5%-15.8% more harm in individual patients). CONCLUSIONS To translate the findings from SPRINT to clinical practice, we developed prediction models to tailor the intensity of BP control based on the projected risk and benefit for each unique patient. This approach should be prospectively tested to better engage patients in shared medical decision making and to improve outcomes. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract
Background Whereas composite end points are often used in clinical trials of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), the impact of individual components on subsequent survival is incompletely defined. We evaluated the association of subsequent acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and unplanned coronary revascularization post‐PCI with long‐term survival. Methods and Results From 2009 to 2011, the KiCS‐PCI (Keio interhospital Cardiovascular Studies) consecutively enrolled patients undergoing PCI in 14 Japanese teaching hospitals. We identified patients who experienced ACS or unplanned coronary revascularization following their index PCI and compared subsequent survival during the 2‐year follow‐up period using propensity‐matched cohorts of patients who did and did not experience these events. Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess 2‐year all‐cause mortality. Because unstable angina is less severe than acute myocardial infarction, we also generated a separate propensity‐matched cohort for UA post‐PCI. Among 3348 PCI patients (mean age, 67.5±10.7 years; 79.7% male), 214 (6.4%) experienced a subsequent ACS (168 events [78.5%] were unstable angina), and 198 (5.9%) underwent unplanned revascularization. In the propensity‐matched cohorts, patients with a subsequent ACS admission had an increased risk of mortality as compared with those without (hazard ratio, 4.73; 95% confidence interval=1.35–16.6; P=0.015), whereas those with an unplanned revascularization did not have significantly higher risk (hazard ratio, 2.97; 95% confidence interval=0.57–14.3; P=0.19). Among unstable angina events, no association with mortality was observed (hazard ratio, 1.39; 95% confidence interval=0.48–4.00; P=0.54). Conclusions In the KiCS‐PCI registry, the incidence of a subsequent ACS was associated with higher mortality, but this association was less apparent after unplanned coronary revascularization or unstable angina. The prognostic implications of different outcomes in a composite end point should be considered when interpreting the results of clinical trials in PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical trials have established the average benefit of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), but estimating benefit for individual patients remains difficult because of the heterogeneity in treatment response. Accordingly, we created a multivariable model to predict changes in quality of life (QoL) with and without CRT. METHODS AND RESULTS Patient-level data from 5 randomized trials comparing CRT with no CRT were used to create a prediction model of change in QoL at 3 months using a partial proportional odds model for no change, small, moderate, and large improvement, or deterioration of any magnitude. The C statistics for not worsening or obtaining at least a small, moderate, and large improvement were calculated. Among the 3614 patients, regardless of assigned treatment, 33.3% had a deterioration in QoL, 9.2% had no change, 9.2% had a small improvement, 13.5% had a moderate improvement, and the remaining 34.9% had a large improvement. Patients undergoing CRT were less likely to have a decrement in their QoL (28.2% versus 38.9%; P<0.001) and more likely to have a large QoL improvement (38.7% versus 30.6%; P<0.001). A partial proportional odds model identified baseline QoL, age, and an interaction of CRT with QRS duration as predictors of QoL benefits 3 months after randomization. C statistics of 0.65 for not worsening, 0.68 for at least a small improvement, 0.69 for at least a moderate improvement, and 0.73 for predicting a large improvement were observed. CONCLUSIONS There is marked heterogeneity of treatment benefit of CRT that can be predicted based on baseline QoL, age, and QRS duration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Implementation of medical emergency teams has been identified as a potential strategy to reduce hospital deaths, because these teams respond to patients with acute physiological decline in an effort to prevent in-hospital cardiac arrest. However, prior studies of the association between medical emergency teams and hospital mortality have been limited and typically have not accounted for preimplementation mortality trends. METHODS Within the Pediatric Health Information System for freestanding pediatric hospitals, annual risk-adjusted mortality rates were calculated for sites between 2000 and 2015. A random slopes interrupted time series analysis then examined whether implementation of a medical emergency team was associated with lower-than-expected mortality rates based on preimplementation trends. RESULTS Across 38 pediatric hospitals, mean annual hospital admission volume was 15 854 (range, 6684-33 024), and there were a total of 1 659 059 hospitalizations preimplementation and 4 392 392 hospitalizations postimplementation. Before medical emergency team implementation, hospital mortality decreased by 6.0% annually (odds ratio [OR], 0.94; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.92-0.96) across all hospitals. After medical emergency team implementation, hospital mortality continued to decrease by 6% annually (OR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.93-0.95), with no deepening of the mortality slope (ie, not lower OR) in comparison with the preimplementation trend, for the overall cohort (P=0.98) or when analyzed separately within each of the 38 study hospitals. Five years after medical emergency team implementation across study sites, there was no difference between predicted (hospital mean of 6.18 deaths per 1000 admissions based on preimplementation trends) and actual mortality rates (hospital mean of 6.48 deaths per 1000 admissions; P=0.57). CONCLUSIONS Implementation of medical emergency teams in a large sample of pediatric hospitals in the United States was not associated with a reduction in hospital mortality beyond existing preimplementation trends.

Abstract
Early invasive management improves outcomes in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The association between preinfarct health status and the selecting patients for early invasive management is unknown. The Prospective Registry Evaluating outcomes after Myocardial Infarctions: Events and Recovery and Translational Research Investigating Underlying disparities in acute Myocardial infarction Patients' Health status are consecutive US multicenter registries, in which the associations between preinfarct angina frequency and quality of life (both assessed by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire on admission) and the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score and referral to early invasive management (coronary angiography within 48 hours) were evaluated using Poisson regression, after adjusting for site, demographics, and clinical and psychosocial variables. Of 3,768 patients with NSTEMI, 2,182 (57.9%) patients were referred for early invasive treatment. Patients with excellent, good, or very good baseline angina-specific quality of life, respectively, were more likely to receive early angiography, even after adjustment, as compared with patients reporting poor baseline quality of life because of angina (62.1.0%, 60.9%, 59.6%, vs 51.2%; adjusted relative risk [RR] = 1.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04 to 1.16; RR = 1.13, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.27; RR 1.14, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.31, respectively). Finally, patients with a GRACE score in the highest risk decile (199.5 to <321.4) had significantly lower rates of early invasive treatment (42.7%) than patients in the lowest decile of risk (67.6%; adjusted RR for continuous GRACE score per SD [1 SD = 40 points], 0.96, 95% CI 0.92 to 0.99, p = 0.019). In conclusion, in this real-world NSTEMI cohort, patients with the highest mortality risk and worst health status were less likely to be referred for early invasive management. Further work is needed to understand the role of preinfarct health status and in-hospital treatment strategy.

Abstract
The measurement of two-particle angular correlations is a powerful tool to study jet quenching in a p_{T} region inaccessible by direct jet identification. In these measurements pseudorapidity (Δη) and azimuthal (Δφ) differences are used to extract the shape of the near-side peak formed by particles associated with a higher p_{T} trigger particle (1<p_{T,trig}<8 GeV/c). A combined fit of the near-side peak and long-range correlations is applied to the data allowing the extraction of the centrality evolution of the peak shape in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV. A significant broadening of the peak in the Δη direction at low p_{T} is found from peripheral to central collisions, which vanishes above 4 GeV/c, while in the Δφ direction the peak is almost independent of centrality. For the 10% most central collisions and 1<p_{T,assoc}<2 GeV/c, 1<p_{T,trig}<3 GeV/c a novel feature is observed: a depletion develops around the center of the peak. The results are compared to pp collisions at the same center of mass energy and ampt model simulations. The comparison to the investigated models suggests that the broadening and the development of the depletion is connected to the strength of radial and longitudinal flow.

Abstract
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction frequently coexist. The AATAC (Ablation versus Amiodarone for Treatment of persistent Atrial fibrillation in patients with Congestive heart failure and an implantable device) trial suggests that catheter ablation may benefit these patients. However, applicability to contemporary ambulatory cardiology practice is unknown. Methods and Results Using the outpatient National Cardiovascular Data Registry® Practice Innovation and Clinical Excellence Registry, we identified participants meeting AATAC enrollment criteria between 2013 and 2014. Treatment with medications and procedures was assessed at registry inclusion. From 164 166 patients with AF and heart failure, 8483 (7%) patients potentially met AATAC inclusion criteria. Eligible subjects, compared to AATAC trial participants, were older (mean age, 71.2±11.4 years) and had greater comorbidity (coronary artery disease 79.2%, hypertension 82.4%, and diabetes mellitus 31.8%). AF was predominantly paroxysmal (65.5%), rather than persistent/permanent (16.7%) or new onset (17.8%), whereas all patients in the AATAC trial had persistent AF. Commonly used atrioventricular‐nodal blocking agents were carvedilol (71.2%), digoxin (31.9%), and metoprolol (27.1%). Rhythm control with anti‐arrhythmic drugs was reported in 29.0% of AATAC eligible patients (predominantly amiodarone [24.6%]) and 9.3% had undergone catheter ablation. Patients who underwent ablation were more likely to be younger and have less comorbidities than those who did not. Conclusions Among the contemporary ambulatory AF/heart failure with reduced ejection fraction population, treatment is predominantly rate control with few catheter ablations. Application of AATAC findings has the potential to markedly increase the use of catheter ablation in this population, although significant differences in clinical profiles might influence ablation outcomes in practice.

Sex Differences in 1-Year All-Cause Rehospitalization in Patients After Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Prospective Observational Study. Circulation 2017; 135:521-531.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Compared with men, women are at higher risk of rehospitalization in the first month after discharge for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, it is unknown whether this risk extends to the full year and varies by age. Explanatory factors potentially mediating the relationship between sex and rehospitalization remain unexplored and are needed to reduce readmissions. The aim of this study was to assess sex differences and factors associated with 1-year rehospitalization rates after AMI. METHODS We recruited 3536 patients (33% women) ≥18 years of age hospitalized with AMI from 24 US centers into the TRIUMPH study (Translational Research Investigating Underlying Disparities in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients' Health Status). Data were obtained by medical record abstraction and patient interviews, and a physician panel adjudicated hospitalizations within the first year after AMI. We compared sex differences in rehospitalization using a Cox proportional hazards model, following sequential adjustment for covariates and testing for an age-sex interaction. RESULTS One-year crude all-cause rehospitalization rates for women were significantly higher than men after AMI (hazard ratio, 1.29 for women; 95% confidence interval, 1.12-1.48). After adjustment for demographics and clinical factors, women had a persistent 26% higher risk of rehospitalization (hazard ratio, 1.26; 95% confidence interval, 1.08-1.47). However, after adjustment for health status and psychosocial factors (hazard ratio, 1.14; 95% confidence interval, 0.96-1.35), the association was attenuated. No significant age-sex interaction was found for 1-year rehospitalization, suggesting that the increased risk applied to both older and younger women. CONCLUSIONS Regardless of age, women have a higher risk of rehospitalization compared with men over the first year after AMI. Although the increased risk persisted after adjustment for clinical factors, the poorer health and psychosocial state of women attenuated the difference.

Abstract
We present the first measurement of the two-particle transverse momentum differential correlation function, P_{2}≡⟨Δp_{T}Δp_{T}⟩/⟨p_{T}⟩^{2}, in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV. Results for P_{2} are reported as a function of the relative pseudorapidity (Δη) and azimuthal angle (Δφ) between two particles for different collision centralities. The Δϕ dependence is found to be largely independent of Δη for |Δη|≥0.9. In the 5% most central Pb-Pb collisions, the two-particle transverse momentum correlation function exhibits a clear double-hump structure around Δφ=π (i.e., on the away side), which is not observed in number correlations in the same centrality range, and thus provides an indication of the dominance of triangular flow in this collision centrality. Fourier decompositions of P_{2}, studied as a function of the collision centrality, show that correlations at |Δη|≥0.9 can be well reproduced by a flow ansatz based on the notion that measured transverse momentum correlations are strictly determined by the collective motion of the system.

Abstract
In medical and epidemiologic studies, relative risk is usually the parameter of interest. However, calculating relative risk using standard log-Binomial regression approach often encounters non-convergence. A modified Poisson regression, which uses robust variance, was proposed by Zou in 2004. Although the modified Poisson regression with sandwich variance estimator is valid for the estimation of relative risk, the predicted probability of the outcome may be greater than the natural boundary 1 for the unobserved but plausible covariate combinations. Moreover, the lower and upper bounds of confidence intervals for predicted probabilities could fall out of (0, 1). Chu and Cole, in 2010, proposed a Bayesian approach to overcome this issue. Posterior median was used to get the parameter estimation. However, the Bayesian approach may provide biased estimation, especially when the probability of outcome is high. In this article, we propose an alternative constraint optimization approach for estimating relative risk. Our approach can reach similar or better performance than Bayesian approach in terms of bias, root mean square error, coverage rate, and predictive probabilities. Simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate the usefulness of this approach. Our method is also illustrated by Prospective Registry Evaluating Myocardial Infarction: Event and Recovery data.

Abstract
Introduction:
In elderly patients presenting with a NSTEMI, a routine invasive strategy reduces cardiovascular events as compared with an ischemia guided approach. However, the association of invasive management on health status outcomes is unknown.
Methods:
Among patients admitted with NSTEMI from 2 multicenter US AMI registries (TRIUMPH and PREMIER), health status was assessed at baseline and at 1, 6 and 12 months after AMI using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ), a CAD-specific health status measure (scores range 0-100, higher scores=better QoL; ~5-points is minimally clinically relevant difference). Invasive management was defined as coronary angiography within 72 hours of admission without a preceding stress test. Propensity-adjusted linear mixed effect models were used to compare health status between treatment strategies over the year after MI. Interactions of age (divided into <65, 65-74, 75-84, ≥85 years) with treatment and with time were tested.
Results:
Among 3559 patients with NSTEMI, 2455 (69.0%) were treated with a routine invasive strategy. This was more common in younger patients, with 72.4% (1610/ 2223) of patients <65 years, 66.6% (476/715) of those 65-74 years, 63.1% (316/501) of those 75-84 years, and 44.2% (53/120) of those ≥ 85 years treated with a routine invasive strategy (p<0.001). In propensity-adjusted analyses (Table), invasive strategy was associated with a clinically small but statistically significant benefit on SAQ physical limitation, angina frequency, and summary scores over the year following AMI; benefits that were greatest early on. Although patients aged ≥ 85 years had slightly worse health status when treated with an invasive strategy, there was no significant interaction between age and treatment strategy for any of the health status outcomes (p≥ 0.15 for all).
Conclusions:
In the setting of a NSTEMI, a routine invasive strategy is associated with small but significant health status benefits. These effects were most notable early during follow-up and did not significantly differ by age. While there was no significant interaction of treatment with age, the oldest old group appeared to derive slightly less health status benefit from a routine invasive strategy—results that will need to be confirmed in a larger study.

Abstract
Introduction:
In SPRINT (Systolic blood PRessure INtervention Trial), non-diabetic patients with hypertension at high cardiovascular risk treated with intensive blood pressure (BP) control (<120mmHg) had fewer major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and all-cause deaths but higher rates of serious adverse events (SAE) compared with patients treated with standard BP control (<140mmHg). However, the degree of benefit or harm for an individual patient could vary due to heterogeneity in treatment effect.
Methods:
Using patient-level data from SPRINT, we developed predictive models for benefit (freedom from death or MACE) and harm (increased SAE) to allow for individualized BP treatment goals based on projected risk-benefit for each patient. Interactions between candidate variable and treatment were evaluated in the models to identify differential treatment effects. We performed 10 fold cross-validation for both the models.
Results:
Among 9361 patients, 8606 (92%) patients had no MACE or death event (benefit) and 3529 (38%) patients had a SAE (harm) over a median follow-up of 3.3 years. The benefit model showed good discrimination (c-index= 0.72; cross-validated c-index= 0.72) with treatment interactions of age, sex, and baseline systolic BP (Figure A), with more benefit of intensive BP treatment in patients who are older, male, and have lower baseline SBP. The SAE risk model showed moderate discrimination (c-index=0.66; cross-validated c-index= 0.65) with a treatment interaction of baseline renal function (Figure B), indicating less harm of intensive treatment in patients with a higher baseline creatinine. The mean predicted absolute benefit of intensive BP treatment was of 2.2% ± 2.5% compared with standard treatment, but ranged from 10.7% lower benefit to 17% greater benefit in individual patients. Similarly, mean predicted absolute harm with intensive treatment was 1.0% ± 1.9%, but ranged from 15.9% lesser harm to 4.9% more harm.
Conclusion:
Among non-diabetic patients with hypertension at high cardiovascular risk, we developed prediction models using basic clinical data that can identify patients with higher likelihood of benefit vs. harm with BP treatment strategies. These models could be used to tailor the treatment approach based on the projected risk and benefit for each unique patient.

Abstract
Background:
The effects of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy on quality of life (QoL) are typically assessed with a combination of heart failure (HF)-specific and generic QoL measures. A generic QoL measure is believed to be necessary to fully capture the QoL effects of LVADs, as non-cardiac factors, such as comorbidities or LVAD complications, may limit generic QoL despite improvement in HF QoL after LVAD. However, the frequency and drivers of this expected discrepancy between HF-specific and generic QoL measures after LVAD implant are not known.
Methods:
Patients who underwent LVAD implantation as part of the INTERMACS registry from 2012-14 were assessed prior to and 6 months after LVAD with the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) and EQ-5D Visual Analog Scale (VAS) to measure HF-specific and generic QoL, respectively. Scores range from 0-100, and ~5 points indicates a clinically relevant change for both measures. Changes in scores were standardized by dividing by the standard deviation of the corresponding baseline score and were categorized as: <0 (worsening), 0 to <0.5 (small improvement), 0.5 to <1 (moderate improvement), and ≥1 (large improvement). Discordance was defined as a ≥2-category difference in standardized changes. Among patients who reported improvement in HF-QoL, multivariable logistic regression was used to examine factors associated with KCCQ-VAS discordance.
Results:
Among 1888 patients, the majority reported improvement in both HF-specific and generic QoL after LVAD, with mean changes in the KCCQ of 32.7 ± 25.0 and in the VAS of 27.6 ± 27.4. Among the 1539 patients (81.5%) with moderate/large improvement in KCCQ, 334 (21.7%) had discordant changes in generic QoL (i.e., VAS did not substantially increase despite improvement in KCCQ). In multivariable modeling, baseline VAS scores were the strongest predictor of future KCCQ-VAS discordance (OR 2.17 per +10 VAS, 95% CI 1.98-2.38). Post-LVAD complications were not associated with discordance.
Conclusion:
In a multicenter cohort of patients undergoing LVAD implant, most patients had substantial improvements in both CHF-specific and generic QoL. Discordance occurred in only ~1/5 of patients and was primarily observed among patients who reported good generic QoL prior to their LVAD (despite low KCCQ). Contrary to our expectations, non-cardiac comorbidities and LVAD complications were not associated with discordance. These results support the continued use of the KCCQ to monitor QoL before and after LVAD implantation but also highlight potential limitations of the VAS in fully capturing the QoL effects from LVADs.

Abstract
Importance Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves survival after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and referral to CR has been introduced as a performance measure of high-quality care. The association of participation in CR with patients' health status (eg, quality of life, symptoms, and functional status) is poorly defined. Objective To examine the association of participation in CR with health status outcomes after AMI. Design, Setting, and Participants A retrospective cohort study was conducted of patients enrolled in 2 AMI registries: PREMIER, from January 1, 2003, to June 28, 2004, and TRIUMPH, from April 11, 2005, to December 31, 2008. The analytic cohort was restricted to 4929 patients with data available on baseline health status, 6- or 12- month follow-up health status, and participation in CR. Data analysis was performed from 2014 to 2015. Exposures Participation in at least 1 CR session within 6 months of hospital discharge. Main Outcomes and Measures Patient health status was quantified using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) and the 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12). The primary outcomes of interest were the mean differences in SAQ domain scores during the 12 months after AMI between patients who did and did not participate in CR. Secondary outcomes were the mean differences in the SF-12 summary scores and all-cause mortality. Results After successfully matching the cohorts of the 4929 patients (3328 men and 1601 women; mean [SD] age, 60.0 [12.2] years) for the propensity to participate in CR and comparing the groups using linear, mixed-effects models, mean differences in the SAQ and SF-12 domain scores were similar at 6 and 12 months between the 2012 patients participating in CR (3 were unable to be matched) and the 2894 who did not participate (20 were unable to be matched). At 6 months, the mean difference was -0.76 (95% CI, -2.05 to 0.52) for the SAQ quality of life score, -1.53 (95% CI, -2.57 to -0.49) for the SAQ angina frequency score, 0.38 (95% CI, -0.51 to 1.27) for the SAQ treatment satisfaction score, -0.42 (95% CI, -1.65 to 0.79) for the SAQ physical limitation score, 0.50 (95% CI, -0.22 to 1.22) for the SF-12 physical component score, and 0.13 (95% CI, -0.53 to 0.79) for the SF-12 mental component score. At 12 months, the mean difference was -0.89 (95% CI, -2.20 to 0.43) for the SAQ quality of life score, -1.05 (95% CI, -2.12 to 0.02) for the SAQ angina frequency score, 0.38 (95% CI, -0.54 to 1.29) for the SAQ treatment satisfaction score, -0.14 (95% CI, -1.41 to 1.14) for the SAQ physical limitation score, 0.17 (95% CI, -0.57 to 0.92) for the SF-12 physical component score, and 0.12 (95% CI, -0.56 to 0.80) for the SF-12 mental component score. In contrast, the hazard rate of all-cause mortality (up to 7 years) associated with participating in CR was 0.59 (95% CI, 0.46-0.75). Conclusions and Relevance In a cohort of 4929 patients with AMI, we found that those who did and did not participate in CR had similar reported health status during the year following AMI; however, participation in CR did confer a significant survival benefit. These findings underscore the need for increased use of validated patient-reported outcome measures to further examine if and how health status can be maximized for patients who participate in CR.

Bleeding risk following percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with diabetes prescribed dual anti-platelet therapy. Am Heart J 2016; 182:111-118.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) experience higher rates of in-stent restenosis and greater benefit from drug-eluting stents implant at the time of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), necessitating prolonged dual anti-platelet therapy (DAPT). While DAPT reduces risk of ischemic events post-PCI, it also increases risk of bleeding. Whether bleeding rates differ among patients with and without DM, receiving long-term DAPT is unknown. METHODS Among patients who underwent PCI and were maintained on DAPT for 1 year in a multicenter US registry, we assessed patient-reported bleeding over one year following PCI in patients with and without DM. Multivariable, hierarchical Poisson regression was used to evaluate the association of DM with bleeding during follow-up. RESULTS Among 2334 PCI patients from 10 US hospitals (mean age 64, 54% ACS), 32.6% had DM. In unadjusted analyses, patients with DM had fewer bleeding events over the year following PCI (DM vs no DM: BARC = 1: 78.0% vs 87.7%, P < .001; BARC ≥2: 4.3% vs 5.3%, P = .33). Following adjustment, patients with (vs without DM) had a lower risk of BARC ≥1 bleeding during follow-up (relative risk [RR] 0.89, 95% CI 0.83-0.96). This decreased bleeding risk persisted after removing bruising from the endpoint definition. CONCLUSIONS In a real-world PCI registry, patients with DM experienced lower risk of bleeding risk on DAPT. As patients with DM also derive greater ischemic benefit from drug-eluting stents, which requires prolonged DAPT, our findings suggest that the balance between benefit and risk of this therapeutic approach may be even more favorable in patients with DM than previously considered.

Abstract
Although eliminating angina is a primary goal in treating patients with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD), few contemporary data quantify prevalence and severity of angina across US cardiology practices. The authors hypothesized that angina among outpatients with CAD managed by US cardiologists is low and its prevalence varies by site. Among 25 US outpatient cardiology clinics enrolled in the American College of Cardiology Practice Innovation and Clinical Excellence (PINNACLE) registry, we prospectively recruited a consecutive sample of patients with chronic CAD over a 1- to 2-week period at each site between April 2013 and July 2015, irrespective of the reason for their appointment. Eligible patients had documented history of CAD (prior acute coronary syndrome, prior coronary revascularization procedure, or diagnosis of stable angina) and ≥1 prior office visit at the practice site. Angina was assessed directly from patients using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire Angina Frequency score. Among 1257 patients from 25 sites, 7.6% (n = 96) reported daily/weekly, 25.1% (n = 315) monthly, and 67.3% (n = 846) no angina. The proportion of patients with daily/weekly angina at each site ranged from 2.0% to 24.0%, but just over half (56.3%) were on ≥2 antianginal medications, with wide variability across sites (0%-100%). One-third of outpatients with chronic CAD managed by cardiologists report having angina in the prior month, and 7.6% have frequent symptoms. Among those with frequent angina, just over half were on ≥2 antianginal medications, with wide variability across sites. These findings suggest an opportunity to improve symptom control.

Abstract
We report the measurements of correlations between event-by-event fluctuations of amplitudes of anisotropic flow harmonics in nucleus-nucleus collisions, obtained for the first time using a new analysis method based on multiparticle cumulants in mixed harmonics. This novel method is robust against systematic biases originating from nonflow effects and by construction any dependence on symmetry planes is eliminated. We demonstrate that correlations of flow harmonics exhibit a better sensitivity to medium properties than the individual flow harmonics. The new measurements are performed in Pb-Pb collisions at the center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV by the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The centrality dependence of correlation between event-by-event fluctuations of the elliptic v_{2} and quadrangular v_{4} flow harmonics, as well as of anticorrelation between v_{2} and triangular v_{3} flow harmonics are presented. The results cover two different regimes of the initial state configurations: geometry dominated (in midcentral collisions) and fluctuation dominated (in the most central collisions). Comparisons are made to predictions from Monte Carlo Glauber, viscous hydrodynamics, ampt, and hijing models. Together with the existing measurements of the individual flow harmonics the presented results provide further constraints on the initial conditions and the transport properties of the system produced in heavy-ion collisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rehospitalizations after acute myocardial infarction for unplanned coronary revascularization and unstable angina (UA) are common. However, despite the inclusion of these events in composite end points of many clinical trials, their association with health status has not been studied. METHODS AND RESULTS We included 3283 patients with acute myocardial infarction enrolled in a prospective, 24-center US study who had rehospitalizations independently classified by experienced cardiologists. Health status was assessed using Seattle Angina Questionnaire and EuroQol-5D Visual Analog Scale. In the propensity-matched cohorts, 1-year health status was compared between those who did and did not experience rehospitalization for UA or revascularization using a hierarchical linear model. Overall, mean age was 59 years, 33% were women, and 70% were white. Rehospitalization rates for UA and unplanned revascularization at 1 year were 4.3% and 4.7%. One-year Seattle Angina Questionnaire summary scores were worse in patients with rehospitalizations for UA (mean difference, -10.1; 95% confidence interval, -12.4 to -7.9) and unplanned revascularization (mean difference, -5.7; 95% confidence interval, -8.8 to -2.5) when compared with patients without such rehospitalizations. Similarly, EuroQol-5D Visual Analog Scale scores were worse among patients with such readmissions. Individual Seattle Angina Questionnaire domains indicated worse 1-year angina and quality of life outcomes among patients rehospitalized for UA or unplanned revascularization. CONCLUSIONS Within the first year after acute myocardial infarction, rehospitalizations for UA and unplanned revascularization are associated with worse health status. These findings highlight the impact of such events from a patient's perspective, beyond their economic impact and support the use of UA and unplanned revascularization as elements of composite end points.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A series of models have been developed to identify patients at high risk for poor outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to help guide treatment choices, offer patients realistic expectations of long-term outcomes, and support decision making. OBJECTIVES This study examined the performance of the previously developed TAVR Poor Outcome risk models in an external dataset and explored the incremental contribution of geriatric domains to model performance. METHODS Poor outcome after TAVR was defined as death, poor quality of life (QOL), or decline in QOL, as assessed using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. We tested 4 TAVR Poor Outcome risk models: 6-month and 1-year full and clinical (reduced) models. We examined each model's discrimination and calibration in the CoreValve trial dataset, and then tested the incremental contribution of frailty and disability markers to the model's discrimination using the incremental discrimination index. RESULTS Among 2,830 patients who underwent TAVR in the CoreValve US Pivotal Extreme and High Risk trials and associated continued access registries, 31.2% experienced a poor outcome at 6 months following TAVR (death, 17.6%; very poor QOL, 11.6%; QOL decline, 2.0%) and 50.8% experienced a poor outcome at 1 year (death, 30.2%; poor QOL, 19.6%; QOL, decline 1.0%). The models demonstrated similar discrimination as in the Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves Trial cohorts (c-indexes, 0.637 to 0.665) and excellent calibration. Adding frailty as a syndrome increased the c-indexes by 0.000 to 0.004 (incremental discrimination index, p < 0.01 for all except the 1-year clinical model), with the most important individual components being disability and unintentional weight loss. CONCLUSIONS Although discrimination of the TAVR Poor Outcome risk models was generally moderate, calibration was excellent among patients with different risk profiles and treated with a different TAVR device. These findings demonstrated the value of these models for individualizing outcome predictions in high-risk patients undergoing TAVR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Smoking cessation after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) decreases the risk of recurrent AMI and mortality by 30% to 50%, but many patients continue to smoke. The association of smoking with angina and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after AMI is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients in 2 US multicenter AMI registries (n=4003) were assessed for smoking and HRQOL at admission and 1, 6, and 12 months after AMI. Angina and HRQOL were measured with the Seattle Angina Questionnaire and Short Form-12 Physical and Mental Component Scales. At admission, 29% never had smoked, 34% were former smokers (quit before AMI), and 37% were active smokers, of whom 46% quit by 1 year (recent quitters). In hierarchical, multivariable, regression models that adjusted for sociodemographic, clinical and treatment factors, never and former smokers had similar and the best HRQOL in all domains. Recent quitters had intermediate HRQOL levels, with angina and Short Form-12 Mental Component Scale scores similar to never smokers. Persistent smokers had worse HRQOL in all domains compared with never smokers and worse Short Form-12 Mental Component Scale scores than recent quitters. CONCLUSIONS Smoking after AMI is associated with more angina and worse HRQOL in all domains, whereas smokers who quit after AMI have similar angina levels and mental health as never smokers. These observations may help encourage patients to stop smoking after AMI.

Abstract
As similarly observed in nutrient-poor media at 37°C, Escherichia coli forms small rods in nutrient-rich media at temperatures near 8°C, the minimum temperature of growth. A study was initiated to identify proteins required to facilitate the small rod morphology at low temperature. E. coli contains three nonessential SPOR domain proteins (DamX, RlpA, and DedD) that have been demonstrated to bind to the septal ring. In contrast to the normal growth and small rod morphology of damX and rlpA null mutants at 10°C, the dedD null mutant exhibited reduced growth and formed filamentous cells. The presence of plasmid-encoded DedD restored growth and small rods. Plasmid-encoded FtsN, an essential SPOR domain protein that functions to stabilize the septal ring and to initiate septation, in the dedD null mutant resulted in increased growth and the formation of shorter chained cells. However, plasmid-encoded DedD failed to restore growth and cell division of cells lacking FtsN at 10°C. In contrast to cell division protein DedD, RodZ is a cell elongation protein particularly required for growth at 30°C. However, the rodZ null mutant grew similarly as the wild type strain and produced cocci in LB broth at 10°C. Moreover at 10°C, the concerted deletion of dedD and rodZ resulted in severe inhibition of growth accompanied with the formation of swollen prolate ellipsoids due to a block in septal ring assembly and cell elongation. The data indicate the cellular requirement of both FtsN and DedD for septation as well as RodZ for cell elongation to maintain the small rod morphology at temperatures near 8°C. In comparison to the growth and small rods of the wild type in M9-glucose minimal media at 37°C, the dedD null mutant grew at the same rate and produced elongated cells while the rodZ null mutant grew at a slightly slower rate and produced cocci. The data indicate that DedD and RodZ are also required to maintain the small rod morphology in nutrient-poor media, but there is a higher cellular requirement of DedD for growth and cell division in nutrient-rich media at low temperature.

Abstract
Background Rehospitalizations following acute myocardial infarction for unplanned coronary revascularization and unstable angina (UA) are often included as parts of composite end points in clinical trials. Although clearly costly, the clinical relevance of these individual components has not been described. Methods and Results Patients enrolled in a prospective, 24‐center, US acute myocardial infarction registry were followed for 1 year after an acute myocardial infarction for rehospitalizations, that were independently adjudicated by experienced cardiologists. Patients who did and did not experience UA or revascularization rehospitalization were propensity matched using greedy matching. Among 3283 patients with acute myocardial infarction who were included, mean age was 59 years, 33% were female, and 70% were white. Rehospitalization rates for UA and unplanned revascularization at 1 year were 5.0% and 4.1%, respectively. After propensity matching, we included 2433 patients in the UA rehospitalization group and 2410 in the unplanned revascularization group. Using weighted proportional hazards Cox regression, there was no significant association between a rehospitalization for UA and 5‐year all‐cause mortality (9.6% versus 13.8%; adjusted hazard ratio 0.87, 95% CI 0.60–1.16). Patients rehospitalized for unplanned revascularization had a lower 5‐year mortality risk (7.0% versus 15.1%; hazard ratio 0.68, 95% CI 0.50–0.92) compared with those without such rehospitalizations. Nevertheless, patients with UA and unplanned revascularization had a substantially greater hazard of subsequent rehospitalizations compared with patients without such events (UA: hazard ratio 4.36, 95% CI 3.48–5.47; revascularization: hazard ratio 4.38, 95% CI 3.53–5.44). Conclusions Rehospitalizations for UA and unplanned revascularization in the year after an acute myocardial infarction are associated with higher risks of subsequent rehospitalizations but not with mortality.

Predictors of Physician Under-Recognition of Angina in Outpatients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease. Circ Cardiovasc Qual Outcomes 2016; 9:554-9. [PMID: 27531922 DOI: 10.1161/circoutcomes.116.002781] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2016] [Accepted: 07/13/2016] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Under-recognition of angina by physicians may result in undertreatment with revascularization or medications that could improve patients' quality of life. We sought to describe characteristics associated with under-recognition of patients' angina. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with coronary disease from 25 US cardiology outpatient practices completed the Seattle Angina Questionnaire before their clinic visit, quantifying their frequency of angina during the previous month. Immediately after the clinic visit, physicians independently quantified their patients' angina. Angina frequency was categorized as none, monthly, and daily/weekly. Among 1257 patients, 411 reported angina in the previous month, of whom 173 (42%) were under-recognized by their physician, defined as the physician reporting a lower frequency category of angina than the patient. In a hierarchical logistic model, heart failure (odds ratio, 3.06, 95% confidence interval, 1.89-4.95) and less-frequent angina (odds ratio for monthly angina [versus daily/weekly], 1.69; 95% confidence interval, 1.12-2.56) were associated with greater odds of under-recognition. No other patient or physician factors were associated with under-recognition. Significant variability across physicians (median odds ratio, 2.06) was observed. CONCLUSIONS Under-recognition of angina is common in routine clinical practice. Although patients with less-frequent angina and those with heart failure more often had their angina under-recognized, most variation was unrelated to patient and physician characteristics. The large variation across physicians suggests that some physicians are more accurate in assessing angina frequency than others. Standardized prospective use of a validated clinical tool, such as the Seattle Angina Questionnaire, should be tested as a means to improve recognition of angina and, potentially, improve appropriate treatment of angina.

Frequency of Poor Outcome (Death or Poor Quality of Life) After Left Ventricular Assist Device for Destination Therapy: Results From the INTERMACS Registry. Circ Heart Fail 2016; 9:e002800. [PMID: 27507111 PMCID: PMC4985017 DOI: 10.1161/circheartfailure.115.002800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2015] [Accepted: 06/21/2016] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) improves survival and quality of life for many, but not all, patients with end-stage heart failure who are ineligible for transplantation. We sought to evaluate the frequency of poor outcomes using a novel composite measure that integrates quality of life with mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS Within the INTERMACS (Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support) national registry, poor outcome was defined as death or an average Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire <45 during the year after LVAD (persistently limiting heart failure symptoms and poor quality of life). Among 1638 patients with LVAD, 29.7% had a poor outcome, with death in 22.4% and persistently poor quality of life in 7.3%. Patients who had a poor outcome were more likely to have higher body mass indices (29.3 versus 28.2 kg/m(2); P=0.007), lower hemoglobin levels (11.1 versus 11.4 g/dL; P=0.005), previous cardiac surgery (47.8% versus 39.8%; P=0.004), history of cancer (13.8% versus 9.7%; P=0.025), severe diabetes mellitus (15.6% versus 11.5%; P=0.038), and poorer quality of life preimplant (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire scores: 29.8 versus 35.3; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Nearly one third of patients die or have a persistently poor quality of life during the year after LVAD. We identified several factors associated with a poor outcome, which may inform discussions before LVAD implantation to enable more realistic expectations of recovery.

Centrality Dependence of the Charged-Particle Multiplicity Density at Midrapidity in Pb-Pb Collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2016; 116:222302.

Abstract
The pseudorapidity density of charged particles, dN_{ch}/dη, at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions has been measured at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. For the 5% most central collisions, we measure a value of 1943±54. The rise in dN_{ch}/dη as a function of sqrt[s_{NN}] is steeper than that observed in proton-proton collisions and follows the trend established by measurements at lower energy. The increase of dN_{ch}/dη as a function of the average number of participant nucleons, ⟨N_{part}⟩, calculated in a Glauber model, is compared with the previous measurement at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV. A constant factor of about 1.2 describes the increase in dN_{ch}/dη from sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 to 5.02 TeV for all centrality classes, within the measured range of 0%-80% centrality. The results are also compared to models based on different mechanisms for particle production in nuclear collisions.

Measurement of an Excess in the Yield of J/ψ at Very Low p_{T} in Pb-Pb Collisions at sqrt[s]_{NN}=2.76 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2016; 116:222301.

Abstract
We report on the first measurement of an excess in the yield of J/ψ at very low transverse momentum (p_{T}<0.3 GeV/c) in peripheral hadronic Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV, performed by ALICE at the CERN LHC. Remarkably, the measured nuclear modification factor of J/ψ in the rapidity range 2.5<y<4 reaches about 7 (2) in the p_{T} range 0-0.3 GeV/c in the 70%-90% (50%-70%) centrality class. The J/ψ production cross section associated with the observed excess is obtained under the hypothesis that coherent photoproduction of J/ψ is the underlying physics mechanism. If confirmed, the observation of J/ψ coherent photoproduction in Pb-Pb collisions at impact parameters smaller than twice the nuclear radius opens new theoretical and experimental challenges and opportunities. In particular, coherent photoproduction accompanying hadronic collisions may provide insight into the dynamics of photoproduction and nuclear reactions, as well as become a novel probe of the quark-gluon plasma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although patients with diabetes mellitus experience high rates of adverse events after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), including death and recurrent ischemia, some diabetic patients are likely at low risk, whereas others are at high risk. We sought to develop prediction models to stratify risk after AMI in patients with diabetes mellitus. METHODS AND RESULTS We developed prediction models for long-term mortality and angina among 1613 patients with diabetes mellitus discharged alive after AMI from 24 US hospitals and then validated the models in a separate, multicenter registry of 786 patients with diabetes mellitus. Event rates in the derivation cohort were 27% for 5-year mortality and 27% for 1-year angina. Parsimonious prediction models demonstrated good discrimination (c-indices=0.78 and 0.69, respectively) and excellent calibration. Within the context of the predictors we estimated, the strongest predictors for mortality were higher creatinine, not working at the time of the AMI, older age, lower hemoglobin, left ventricular dysfunction, and chronic heart failure. The strongest predictors for angina were angina burden in the 4 weeks before the AMI, younger age, history of prior coronary bypass graft surgery, and non-white race. The lowest and highest deciles of predicted risk ranged from 4% to 80% for mortality and 12% to 59% for angina. The models also performed well in external validation (c-indices=0.78 and 0.73, respectively). CONCLUSIONS We found a wide range of risk for adverse outcomes after AMI in diabetic patients. Predictive models can identify patients with diabetes mellitus for whom closer follow-up and aggressive secondary prevention strategies should be considered.

Patient and physician discordance in reporting symptoms of angina among stable coronary artery disease patients: Insights from the Angina Prevalence and Provider Evaluation of Angina Relief (APPEAR) study. Am Heart J 2016; 175:94-100. [PMID: 27179728 DOI: 10.1016/j.ahj.2016.02.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2015] [Accepted: 02/19/2016] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A principal goal of treating patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is to minimize angina and optimize quality of life. For this, physicians must accurately assess presence and frequency of patients' angina. The accuracy with which cardiologists estimate their patients' angina in contemporary, busy outpatient clinics across the United States (US) is unknown. METHODS We enrolled patients with CAD across 25 US cardiology outpatient practices. Patients completed the Seattle Angina Questionnaire before their visit, which assessed their angina and quality of life over the prior 4 weeks. The Seattle Angina Questionnaire angina frequency domain categorized patients' angina as none, daily/weekly, or monthly. After the visit, cardiologists estimated the frequency of their patients' angina using the same categories. Kappa statistic helped to assess agreement between patient-reported and cardiologist-estimated angina. RESULTS Among 1,257 outpatients with CAD, 67% reported no angina, 25% reported monthly angina, and 8% reported daily/weekly angina. When patients reported no angina, cardiologists accurately estimated this 93% of the time, but when patients reported monthly or daily/weekly angina symptoms, cardiologists agreed 17% and 69% of the time, respectively. Among patients with daily/weekly angina, 26% were noted as having no angina by their physicians. Agreement between patients' and cardiologists' reports (assessed by the kappa statistic) was 0.48 (95% CI 0.44-0.53), indicating moderate agreement. CONCLUSIONS Among outpatients with stable CAD, there is substantial discordance between patient-reported and cardiologist-estimated burden of angina. Inclusion of patient-reported health status measures in routine clinical care may support better recognition of patients' symptoms by physicians.

Abstract
We report the first results of elliptic (v_{2}), triangular (v_{3}), and quadrangular (v_{4}) flow of charged particles in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV with the ALICE detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The measurements are performed in the central pseudorapidity region |η|<0.8 and for the transverse momentum range 0.2<p_{T}<5 GeV/c. The anisotropic flow is measured using two-particle correlations with a pseudorapidity gap greater than one unit and with the multiparticle cumulant method. Compared to results from Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV, the anisotropic flow coefficients v_{2}, v_{3}, and v_{4} are found to increase by (3.0±0.6)%, (4.3±1.4)%, and (10.2±3.8)%, respectively, in the centrality range 0%-50%. This increase can be attributed mostly to an increase of the average transverse momentum between the two energies. The measurements are found to be compatible with hydrodynamic model calculations. This comparison provides a unique opportunity to test the validity of the hydrodynamic picture and the power to further discriminate between various possibilities for the temperature dependence of shear viscosity to entropy density ratio of the produced matter in heavy-ion collisions at the highest energies.

Abstract
PURPOSE Interpreting the clinical significance of changes in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is critically important. The most commonly used approach is to anchor mean changes on PRO scores against a global assessment of change. Whether the assessor of global change should be patients or their physicians is unknown. We compared patients' and physicians' assessments of change over time to examine which was more aligned with patients' changes in PRO measures. METHODS A total of 459 chronic heart failure patients aged >30 years were enrolled from 13 US centers. Data were obtained by medical record abstraction, physical assessments, and patient interviews at a baseline clinic visit and 6 weeks later. Health status was measured with the disease-specific Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ), and both patients and physicians completed a validated 15-level global assessment of change, ranging from large deterioration to large improvement. RESULTS There was substantial variation between physicians/patients' global assessment of clinical change (weighted kappa = 0.36, 95 % CI 0.28, 0.43). Overall, physician assessments were more strongly correlated with change on the KCCQ summary score than were patients' assessments (physician R = 0.37, patient R = 0.29). CONCLUSION There was substantial variation between patients' and physicians' global assessment of 6-week change in heart failure status. Physician assessments of the importance of clinical changes were more strongly associated with changes in all domains of patient-reported health status, as assessed by the KCCQ, and may provide a more consistent method for defining the clinical importance of changes in patients' health status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who smoke at the time of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) would ideally have a strong incentive to quit, but most do not. We sought to compare the health status outcomes of those who did and did not quit smoking after PCI with those who were not smoking before PCI. METHODS AND RESULTS A cohort of 2765 PCI patients from 10 US centers were categorized into never, past (smoked in the past but had quit before PCI), quitters (smoked at time of PCI but then quit), and persistent smokers. Health status was measured with the disease-specific Seattle Angina Questionnaire and the EuroQol 5 dimensions, adjusted for baseline characteristics. In unadjusted analyses, persistent smokers had worse disease-specific and overall health status when compared with other groups. In fully adjusted analyses, persistent smokers showed significantly worse health-related quality of life when compared with never smokers. Importantly, of those who smoked at the time of PCI, quitters had significantly better adjusted Seattle Angina Questionnaire angina frequency scores (mean difference, 2.73; 95% confidence interval, 0.13-5.33) and trends toward higher disease specific (Seattle Angina Questionnaire quality of life mean difference, 1.97; 95% confidence interval, -1.24 to 5.18), and overall (EuroQol 5 dimension visual analog scale scores mean difference, 2.45; 95% confidence interval, -0.58 to 5.49) quality of life when compared with persistent smokers at 12 months. CONCLUSIONS Smokers at the time of PCI have worse health status at 1 year than those who never smoked, whereas smokers who quit after PCI have less angina at 1 year than those who continue smoking.

Abstract
Background Although patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) are known to have an increased risk of adverse prognosis, simple techniques to further risk‐stratify PAD patients would be clinically useful. A plausible but unexplored factor to predict such risk would be greater disease burden, manifested as multiple lower extremity lesions. The aim of this study was to examine the association between having multiple versus isolated lower extremity PAD lesions and long‐term prognosis. Methods and Results A prospective cohort of 756 newly diagnosed PAD patients underwent duplex ultrasound testing to determine the number of lower extremity lesions. Cox regression models examined the independent association of lesion number (≥3 and 2 versus 1) and adverse prognosis (defined as a composite end point comprising first occurrence of either lower extremity amputation, admission for heart failure, nonfatal stroke, myocardial infarction, or unstable angina or mortality), adjusting for demographic and clinical risk factors. Analyses were replicated using an advanced Cox‐based model for multiple events. A total of 173 patients (23%) had ≥3 lesions, 197 (26%) had 2 lesions, and 386 (51%) had 1 lesion. After a median follow‐up of 3.2 years, patients with ≥3 lesions had an increased risk of experiencing a first adverse event (adjusted hazard ratio 1.60, 95% CI 1.08–2.38, P=0.020) and an increased risk of having multiple events (adjusted hazard ratio 1.53, 95% CI 1.08–2.18, P=0.018). Patients with 2 lesions had a prognosis similar to those with 1 lesion. Conclusions Among PAD patients, a greater number of lesions is associated with an increased risk of an adverse prognosis over 3 years of follow‐up. Assessing the number of lower extremity lesions might serve as a simple risk‐stratification tool at initial PAD diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitor use after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a quality indicator, but there may also be reasons not to use this therapy. We sought to determine how chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) affected RAS inhibitor prescription after AMI in patients with and without decreased ejection fraction (EF). METHODS Participants from the TRIUMPH registry were categorized by admission estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR in mL/min per 1.73 m(2); severe [<30], moderate [30-59], mild [60-89], and no [≥90] CKD) and occurrence of AKI (an increase in creatinine ≥0.3 mg/dL or ≥50%). Renin-angiotensin system inhibitor prescriptions at discharge were compared across categories of CKD, AKI, and decreased EF (<40% vs ≥40%) using a hierarchical modified Poisson model. RESULTS Among 4,223 AMI patients (mean age 59.0 years, 67.0% male, 67.3% white), RAS inhibitor use decreased significantly with lower eGFR (P < .001), but there was no effect of decreased EF on this relationship (interaction P = .40). Without AKI, severe and moderate CKD were associated with significantly less RAS inhibitor use: relative risks (RRs) 0.67 (95% CIs, 0.58-0.78) and 0.94 (0.90-0.99), respectively. When AKI occurred, CKD was associated with less RAS inhibitor use: RRs 0.84 (0.76-0.93) for mild CKD, 0.78 (0.68-0.88) for moderate CKD, and 0.50 (0.42-0.61) for severe CKD. Ejection fraction <40% was associated with use (RR 1.11, 1.03-1.18), independent of renal function. CONCLUSIONS Chronic kidney disease and AKI are associated with fewer RAS inhibitor prescriptions at discharge, but in both AKI and non-AKI patients, eGFR was more strongly associated with use than EF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-eluting stents (DES) reduce restenosis, as compared with bare-metal stents (BMS); however, the relationship between stent type and health status is unknown. We examined whether stent type was associated with health status outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated 6- and 12-month health status in 2,694 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) enrolled in the TRIUMPH and PREMIER registries who underwent PCI with DES (n = 1,361) or BMS (n = 1,333). Health status was assessed with the Seattle Angina Questionnaire, Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-12, and Patient Health Questionnaire depression scale. Propensity matching was performed to account for baseline differences in patient characteristics, resulting in a comparison cohort of 784 patients treated with DES and 784 patients treated with BMS. Both groups experienced significant improvements in health status at 6 and 12 months after PCI. Drug-eluting stent use was associated with a small improvement in Seattle Angina Questionnaire quality of life and functional limitation scores at 6 months (3.6 [95% CI 0.96-6.21], P = .007, and 3.8 [1.55-6.01], P < .001, respectively), but not at 12 months (2.3 [-0.46 to 5.03], P = .10, and 0.3 [-2.04 to 2.48], P = .85, respectively). CONCLUSIONS In patients with AMI undergoing PCI, DES use was associated with transient but unsustained health status benefits over 12 months after AMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a growing demand to collect patients' experiences of their health status (their symptoms, function, and quality of life) in clinical trials, quality assessment initiatives, and in routine clinical care. In heart failure, the 23-item, disease-specific Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) has been shown to be valid, reliable, sensitive to clinical change, and prognostic of both clinical events and costs. However, its use has been limited, in part, by its length. We sought to develop a shortened version of the instrument that maintains the psychometric properties of the full KCCQ. METHODS AND RESULTS Using data from 3 clinical studies incorporating 4168 patients, we derived and validated a 12-item KCCQ, the KCCQ-12, to capture symptom frequency, physical and social limitations, and quality of life impairment as a result of heart failure, as well as an overall summary score. The KCCQ-12 scores had high correlations with the original scales (>0.93 for all scales in all clinical settings), high test–retest reliability (>0.76 for all domains), high responsiveness (16–31 point improvements after discharge from hospitalization; standardized response mean =0.61–1.12), and comparable prognostic significance and interpretation of clinically important differences as compared with the full KCCQ. CONCLUSIONS The KCCQ-12 is a shorter version of the original 23-item instrument that should be more feasible to implement while preserving the psychometric properties of the full instrument.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The Stroke-Thrombolytic Predictive Instrument (Stroke-TPI) predicts the probability of good and bad outcomes with and without recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA). We sought to rebuild and externally validate a simpler Stroke-TPI to support implementation in routine clinical care. METHODS Using the original derivation cohort of 1,983 patients from a combined database of randomized clinical trials (NINDS [National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke] 1 and 2; ATLANTIS [Alteplase Thrombolysis for Acute Noninterventional Therapy in Ischemic Stroke] A and B; and ECASS [European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study] II), we simplified the Stroke-TPI by reducing variables and interaction terms and by exploring simpler (3- and 8-item) stroke severity scores. External validation was performed in the ECASS III trial (n = 821). RESULTS The following 6 variables were most predictive of good outcomes: age, systolic blood pressure, diabetes, stroke severity, symptom onset to treatment time, and rtPA therapy. Treatment effect modifiers included onset to treatment time and systolic blood pressure. For the models predicting a bad outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score ≥5), significant variables included age, stroke severity, and serum glucose. rtPA therapy did not change the risk of a poor outcome. Compared with models using the full NIH Stroke Scale, models using the 3-item severity score showed similar discrimination and excellent calibration. External validation on ECASS III showed similar performance (C statistics 0.75 [mRS score ≤1] and 0.80 [mRS score ≤2]). CONCLUSION A simpler model using a 3-item stroke severity score, instead of the 15-item NIH Stroke Scale, has similar prognostic value and may be easier to use in routine care. Future studies are needed to test whether it can improve process and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The measurement of primary [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] production at mid-rapidity ([Formula: see text] 0.5) in proton-proton collisions at [Formula: see text][Formula: see text] 7 TeV performed with a large ion collider experiment at the large hadron collider (LHC) is reported. Particle identification is performed using the specific ionisation energy-loss and time-of-flight information, the ring-imaging Cherenkov technique and the kink-topology identification of weak decays of charged kaons. Transverse momentum spectra are measured from 0.1 up to 3 GeV/[Formula: see text] for pions, from 0.2 up to 6 GeV/[Formula: see text] for kaons and from 0.3 up to 6 GeV/[Formula: see text] for protons. The measured spectra and particle ratios are compared with quantum chromodynamics-inspired models, tuned to reproduce also the earlier measurements performed at the LHC. Furthermore, the integrated particle yields and ratios as well as the average transverse momenta are compared with results at lower collision energies.

Pharmacological evaluation of a novel phosphodiesterase 10A inhibitor in models of antipsychotic activity and cognition. Pharmacol Biochem Behav 2015; 135:46-52.

Abstract
In this study, we report the pharmacological effects of a novel PDE10A inhibitor, SEP-39. SEP-39 is a potent (1.0nM) inhibitor of human PDE10A in vitro, with good selectivity (>16000-fold) against other PDEs. In an in vivo occupancy study, the RO50 value was determined to be 0.7mg/kg (p.o.), corresponding to plasma and brain exposures of 28ng/mL and 43ng/g, respectively. Using microdialysis, we show that 3mg/kg (p.o.) SEP-39 significantly increased rat striatal cGMP concentrations. Furthermore, SEP-39 inhibits PCP-induced hyperlocomotion at doses of 1 and 3mg/kg (p.o.) corresponding to 59-86% occupancy. At similar doses in a catalepsy study, the time on the bar was increased but the maximal effect was less than that seen with haloperidol. In an EEG study, 3 and 10mg/kg (p.o.) SEP-39 suppressed REM intensity and increased the latency to REM sleep. We also demonstrate the procognitive effects of SEP-39 in the rat novel object recognition assay. These effects appear to require less PDE10A inhibition than the reversal of PCP-induced hyperlocomotion or EEG effects, as improvements in recognition index were seen at doses of 0.3mg/kg and above. Our data demonstrate that SEP-39 is a potent, orally active PDE10A inhibitor with therapeutic potential in a number of psychiatric indications.

Abstract
Background:
After left ventricular assist device (LVAD) for end-stage heart failure, cognitive function should improve due to increased cerebral perfusion. However, stroke (a well-known LVAD complication) and even subclinical cerebral ischemia may also occur and manifest as transient or permanent cognitive decline. We sought to describe the incidence and predictors of cognitive decline after LVAD using a valid, sensitive assessment tool.
Methods:
As part of the INTERMACS registry, cognitive function was assessed before LVAD and at each follow-up with the Trailmaking B Test (TBT), where a subject is timed connecting 25 dots labeled with alternating, consecutive numbers and letters (1, A, 2, B, etc.). The TBT can detect several forms of cognitive impairment, including subclinical stroke. Longer times are worse, and cognitive decline was defined as a clinically important increase from baseline to highest follow-up score using Cohen’s D Effect Size (0.2*baseline SD = 13 s). Patients who completed baseline and at least 1 follow-up TBT were included. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the association between patient characteristics and cognitive decline after LVAD.
Results:
Among 1151 LVAD patients, median age was 60-69, 19% were female, and 40% were INTERMACS profile 1-2 (cardiogenic shock or declining despite inotropes) at implant. Among patients with 12-mo follow-up, mean TBT score improved from 126 at baseline to 123 at 1 yr. In the total cohort, 333 (29%) patients had significant cognitive decline within 12 mo of LVAD placement. Increasing age, chronic renal disease, better baseline TBT score (shorter time), and higher INTERMACS profiles (≥ 3; less severe heart failure) were significantly associated with greater odds of cognitive decline (Figure).
Conclusion:
In a large LVAD registry, cognitive decline occurred in over a quarter of patients in the year after LVAD and was associated with older age, renal disease, higher baseline cognitive function, and more stable heart failure at implant. These results define the frequency of an important adverse event and provide new insights regarding outcomes after LVAD. Future studies are needed to explore the association of transient and permanent cognitive decline with subsequent stroke, health status, and mortality in patients after LVAD placement.

Abstract
Background:
Eliminating angina is a primary goal in the management of chronic coronary artery disease (CAD). There are few data quantifying the prevalence, severity and intensity of angina treatment in contemporary cardiology practice in the United States.
Methods:
Leveraging the ACC PINNACLE registry, we conducted a cross-sectional study across 23 US outpatient cardiology clinics to examine the burden and management of angina in patients with stable CAD. Angina was assessed using the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) angina frequency (AF) domain score and categorized as daily/weekly (SAQ AF < or = 60), monthly (score 61-99), and no (score =100) angina. At each site, we examined the proportion of patients with daily/weekly (frequent) angina and the proportion of patients with frequent angina who were treated with optimal medical treatment (> 2 anti-anginal medications).
Results:
Among 1154 patients from 23 sites, 8.0% (n=93) reported daily/weekly angina, 24.3% (n=280) monthly angina, and 67.7% (n=781) no angina. The proportion of patients with frequent angina at each site ranged from 2.0-24.0%. Among these patients, 53.8% (n=50) were on optimal medical treatment, with wide variability noted across sites (0%-100%; Figure).
Conclusion:
Nearly a third of CAD outpatients followed by cardiologists report angina, with 8.0% having frequent symptoms. Among frequent angina patients, just over half were on optimal medical management with wide variability across sites, suggesting important opportunities to improve care in chronic CAD.

Abstract
Background:
While patients with diabetes (DM) have more diffuse coronary artery disease (CAD), the data on whether they experience more (or less) angina than patients without DM are conflicting. Although older studies suggested that patients with DM have less angina (due to silent ischemia), this has been contradicted by more recent work among patients after myocardial infarction. However, the prevalence of angina after PCI in patients with DM and stable CAD has not been examined.
Methods:
In a 10-site US PCI registry, we assessed angina in patients before elective PCI and at 1, 6, and 12 months after PCI with the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) angina frequency (AF) score (range 0-100, higher=better). We also examined the rates of antianginal medication prescription at discharge. A multivariable, repeated measures Poisson model including demographic and clinical variables such as multivessel coronary disease was used to examine the association of diabetes with angina.
Results:
Among 1080 elective PCI patients (mean age 65, 74.7% male), 34.0% had DM. At baseline, 1, 6, and 12 months, patients with DM had similar angina prevalence as those without DM (Figure). In addition, when assessed as a continuous variable, SAQ AF scores were also similar at baseline and each follow-up for patients with DM vs. without DM (Figure). Patients with DM were more commonly prescribed calcium channel blockers and nitrates at discharge (DM vs. not: 27.9% vs 20.9% [p=0.01] and 32.8% vs. 25.5%, [p=0.01], respectively), while beta-blockers and ranolazine were prescribed at similar rates. In the multivariable, repeated measures model, the risk of angina remained similar at 1 and 12 months, and was slightly higher at 6 months in patients with vs. without diabetes (1 month: RR 1.10, 95% CI 0.84-1.44; 6 month: RR 1.24, 1.06-1.44; 12 months RR 1.04, 0.80-1.36).
Conclusions:
Patients with stable coronary artery disease and diabetes exhibit a burden of angina that is at least as high as those without diabetes, despite more aggressive antianginal prescription at discharge. These findings contradict the prevailing “conventional wisdom” which dictates that patients with diabetes experience less angina due to silent ischemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement for advanced heart failure, increased cerebral perfusion should result in improved cognitive function. However, stroke (a well-known LVAD complication) and subclinical cerebral ischemia may result in transient or permanent cognitive decline. We sought to describe the incidence and predictors of cognitive decline after LVAD using a valid, sensitive assessment tool. METHODS AND RESULTS Among 4419 patients in the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support who underwent LVAD implantation between May 2012 and December 2013, cognitive function was assessed in 1173 patients with the Trail Making B Test before LVAD and at 3, 6, and 12 months. The test detects several forms of cognitive impairment, including subclinical stroke. Cognitive decline was defined as a clinically important increase during follow-up using a moderate Cohen d effect size of 0.5×baseline SD (32 s). The cumulative incidence of cognitive decline in the year after LVAD implantation, treating death and transplantation as competing risks, was 29.2%. In adjusted analysis, older age (≥70 versus <50 years; hazard ratio, 2.24; 95% confidence interval 1.46-3.44; P(trend)<0.001) and destination therapy (hazard ratio, 1.42; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-1.92) were significantly associated with greater risk of cognitive decline. CONCLUSIONS Cognitive decline occurs commonly in patients in the year after LVAD and is associated with older age and destination therapy. These results could have important implications for patient selection and improved communication of risks before LVAD implantation. Additional studies are needed to explore the association between cognitive decline and subsequent stroke, health status, and mortality in patients after LVAD.
