Abstract
BACKGROUND The endothelin receptor antagonist atrasentan reduced the risk of kidney failure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the SONAR (Study of Diabetic Nephropathy with Atrasentan) trial, although with a numerically higher incidence of heart failure (HF) hospitalization. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess if early changes in B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and body weight during atrasentan treatment predict HF risk. METHODS Participants with type 2 diabetes and CKD entered an open-label enrichment phase to assess response to atrasentan 0.75 mg/day. Participants without substantial fluid retention (>3 kg body weight increase or BNP increase to >300 pg/mL), were randomized to atrasentan 0.75 mg/day or placebo. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to assess the effects of atrasentan vs placebo on the prespecified safety outcome of HF hospitalizations. RESULTS Among 3,668 patients, 73 (4.0%) participants in the atrasentan and 51 (2.8%) in the placebo group developed HF (HR: 1.39; 95% CI: 0.97-1.99; P = 0.072). In a multivariable analysis, HF risk was associated with higher baseline BNP (HR: 2.32; 95% CI: 1.81-2.97) and percent increase in BNP during response enrichment (HR: 1.46; 95% CI: 1.08-1.98). Body weight change was not associated with HF. Exclusion of patients with at least 25% BNP increase during enrichment attenuated the risk of HF with atrasentan (HR: 1.02; 95% CI: 0.66-1.56) while retaining nephroprotective effects (HR: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.44-0.78). CONCLUSIONS In patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD, baseline BNP and early changes in BNP in response to atrasentan were associated with HF hospitalization, highlighting the importance of natriuretic peptide monitoring upon initiation of atrasentan treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Novel P2Y12 inhibitors prasugrel and ticagrelor were approved for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in 2009 and 2011, respectively. We assessed the association of racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic factors with initiation of and adherence to novel P2Y12 inhibitors in a commercially insured population. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of adults undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with placement of a drug-eluting stent, stratified by ACS status, between January 2008 and December 2016 using Clinformatics Data Mart (OptumInsight). We estimated multivariable logistic regression models to identify factors associated with the initiation of clopidogrel vs novel P2Y12 inhibitors as well as subsequent 6-month medication adherence, assessed via pharmacy records. RESULTS A total of 55,664 patients were included in the analysis. Hispanic ethnicity was independently associated with the initiation of clopidogrel compared with novel P2Y12 inhibitors among ACS patients (odds ratio [OR], 1.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04-1.36; P<.01). ACS patients with an annual median household income of over $100,000 were less likely to be started on clopidogrel when compared with those who earned less than $40,000 (OR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.61-0.75; P<.01). Black race, Hispanic ethnicity, and lower household income were each associated with significantly reduced odds of P2Y12 inhibitor adherence. CONCLUSION Hispanic ethnicity and lower household income were associated with novel P2Y12 inhibitor initiation, and non-White race and ethnicity were associated with lower P2Y12 inhibitor adherence over 6-month follow-up. These findings highlight continued inequity of care, even in an insured population, and point to a need for new strategies to close these gaps.

Abstract
Aim: Patient knowledge and attitudes toward pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing may impact adoption of clinical testing. Methods: Questionnaires regarding knowledge, attitudes and ethics of PGx testing were distributed to 504 patients enrolled in the ADAPT study conducted at two urban hospitals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Responses were assessed using multivariable logistic regression. Results: 311 completed the survey (62% response rate). 74% were unaware of PGx testing, but 79% indicated using PGx results to predict medication efficacy was important. In a multivariable model, higher education level (p = 0.031) and greater genetics knowledge (p < 0.001) were associated with more positive attitudes toward PGx testing. Conclusion: Greater patient knowledge of genetics was associated with a more positive attitude toward PGx testing, indicating that educational strategies aimed at increasing genetics knowledge may enhance adoption of PGx testing in the clinic.

Abstract
Aim: To determine if interventional cardiologists' knowledge and attitudes toward pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing influenced their antiplatelet prescribing decisions in response to CYP2C19 results. Materials & methods: Surveys were administered prior to participating in a randomized trial of CYP2C19 testing. Associations between baseline knowledge/attitudes and agreement with the genotype-guided antiplatelet recommendations were determined using multivariable logistic regression. Results: 50% believed that PGx testing would be valuable to predict medication toxicity or efficacy. 64% felt well informed about PGx testing and its therapeutic application. However, PGx experience, knowledge, nor attitudes were significantly associated with agreement to genotype-guided antiplatelet recommendations. Conclusion: Cardiologists' knowledge and attitudes were not associated with CYP2C19-guided antiplatelet prescribing, but larger studies should be done to confirm this finding.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to characterize outcomes associated with cangrelor administration used in an antiplatelet bridging strategy in real-world clinical scenarios within a large academic medical system. BACKGROUND Cangrelor has been used for antiplatelet bridging in perioperative settings or for patients unable to take oral medications. Prior studies in these settings have reported bleeding rates from 0%-40%. METHODS Patients were retrospectively identified via chart review and included if they were over 18 years old, had coronary or peripheral arterial stents, and had received at least 1 hour of cangrelor infusion during inpatient admission. The primary endpoint was Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) 3-5 bleeding during cangrelor infusion or within 48 hours of discontinuation; secondary endpoints were bleeding events defined by Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI), Global Use of Strategies to Open Occluded Arteries (GUSTO), and International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) criteria, as well as BARC 2 bleeding. RESULTS Thirty-one patients met the inclusion criteria. Cangrelor indications were bridging to procedure in 22 patients (71.0%) and inability to take oral P2Y12 inhibitors in 9 patients (29.0%). Twenty-three patients (74.2%) were men, 11 patients (35.5%) were in cardiogenic shock, and 4 patients (12.9%) were on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at the time of administration. No patients received cangrelor for routine percutaneous coronary intervention. Of the 31 patients, 13 (41.9%) had BARC 3-5 bleeding and 7 (22.6%) expired during hospitalization. All 4 patients on ECMO suffered BARC 3-5 bleeding. CONCLUSIONS We reviewed the use of cangrelor for antiplatelet bridging in real-world clinical scenarios and observed higher rates of clinically significant bleeding than seen in other similar studies. Our study suggests careful consideration when using cangrelor in a sick patient population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study sought to assess the proportion of patients in modern U.S. interventional practice that fulfilled criteria for enrollment in the ISCHEMIA (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness With Medical and Invasive Approaches) trial. BACKGROUND The ISCHEMIA trial, which enrolled patients with stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD), showed that revascularization improved angina symptoms with little effect on death or myocardial infarction. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of the National Cardiovascular Data Registry CathPCI Registry (v5.0), including 1,662 hospitals, was performed. Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for SIHD in routine clinical practice meeting ISCHEMIA trial inclusion criteria and those that did not were evaluated. RESULTS During the study period, 388,212 patients underwent PCI for SIHD, comprising 41.88% of all patients undergoing PCI during the study period. Of these, 125,302 (32.28%; 13.52% of all patients undergoing PCI) met criteria for enrollment in the ISCHEMIA trial. Among SIHD patients that did not meet criteria, 71,852 (18.51%) had SIHD with high-risk features (35.2% left main disease, 43.7% left ventricular systolic dysfunction, 16.8% end-stage renal disease), 67,159 (17.3%) had SIHD with negative or low-risk functional testing, and 123,899 (31.92%) either had no stress testing or did not have ischemic burden reported. At the median hospital, 32.1% (interquartile range: 23.5%-40.6%) of SIHD patients met criteria for enrollment in the ISCHEMIA trial, with these patients experiencing lower unadjusted in-hospital mortality rate than comparator groups who met exclusion criteria for the trial (0.11%) (P < 0.01 for all comparisons). CONCLUSIONS Among contemporary U.S. patients undergoing PCI for SIHD, 32.28% clearly met enrollment criteria for the ISCHEMIA trial. There was significant variation among individual centers in the proportion of SIHD patients meeting criteria for the ISCHEMIA trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2009, the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association published Appropriate Use Criteria for Coronary Revascularization (AUC) to aid patient selection for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The subsequent decline in inappropriate PCIs was interpreted as a success of AUC. However, there are concerns clinicians reclassify nonacute PCIs to acute indications to fulfill AUC. METHODS A longitudinal, observational difference-in-differences analysis was performed using administrative claims from US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) beneficiaries coenrolled in Medicare and from a national random sample of Medicare beneficiaries, undergoing PCI from September 30, 2009, to December 31, 2013. Non-VA hospitals participating in the American College of Cardiology CathPCI registry began receiving AUC reports in 2011, while VA hospitals did not receive reports, serving as quasiexperimental and control cohorts, respectively. We measured the proportion of PCIs coded for acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and nonacute coronary syndrome indications by quarter. RESULTS There were 87 464 and 30 251 PCIs performed in the Medicare and VA cohorts, respectively. In Medicare, proportion of PCIs coded for acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina changed from 31.9% and 12.6% in quarter 4 2009 to 41.0% and 10.5% in quarter 4 2013, an associated 2.00% (95% CI, 1.56%-2.44%; P<0.001) increase per year in PCIs coded for acute coronary syndrome indications. In the VA, proportion of PCIs coded for acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina changed from 26.5% and 15.7% in quarter 4 2009 to 34.3% and 12.3% in quarter 4 2013, an associated 1.20% (95% CI, 0.56%-1.88%; P=0.001) increase per year in PCIs coded for acute coronary syndrome indications. Difference-in-differences modeling found no statistically significant change in PCI coded for acute indications between Medicare and VA, pre- and post-AUC reporting. CONCLUSIONS After introduction of AUC assessments and reporting, we observed comparable increases in coding for acute myocardial infarction and corresponding decreases in coding for unstable angina and nonacute coronary syndrome indications among national cohorts of Medicare and VA enrollees. The provision of appropriate use reporting did not appear to have a substantial impact on the proportion of PCIs coded for acute indications during this study period.

Abstract
Importance Quality of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is commonly assessed by risk-adjusted mortality. However, this metric may result in procedural risk aversion, especially for high-risk patients. Objective To determine correlation and reclassification between hospital-level disease-specific mortality and PCI procedural mortality among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Design, Setting, and Participants This hospital-level observational cross-sectional multicenter analysis included hospitals participating in the Chest Pain-MI Registry, which enrolled consecutive adult patients admitted with a diagnosis of type I non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) or ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and hospitals in the CathPCI Registry, which enrolled consecutive adult patients treated with PCI with an indication of NSTEMI or STEMI, between April 1, 2011, and December 31, 2017. Exposures Inclusion into the National Cardiovascular Data Registry Chest Pain-MI and CathPCI registries. Main Outcomes and Measures For each hospital in each registry, a disease-based excess mortality ratio (EMR-D) for AMI was calculated, which represents a risk-adjusted observed to expected rate of mortality for AMI as a disease using the Chest Pain-MI Registry, and a procedure-based excess mortality ratio (EMR-P) for PCI was calculated using the CathPCI Registry. Results A subset of 625 sites participated in both registries, with a final count of 776 890 patients from the Chest Pain-MI Registry (509 576 men [65.6%]; 620 981 white [80.0%]; and median age, 64 years [interquartile range, 55-74 years]) and 853 386 patients from the CathPCI Registry (582 701 men [68.3%]; 691 236 white [81.0%]; and median age, 63 years [interquartile range, 54-73 years]). Among the 625 linked hospitals, the Spearman rank correlation coefficient between EMR-D and EMR-P produced a ρ of 0.53 (95% CI, 0.47-0.58), suggesting moderate correlation. Among the highest-performing tertile for disease-based risk-adjusted mortality, 90 of 208 sites (43.3%) were classified into a lower category for procedural risk-adjusted mortality. Among the lowest-performing tertile for disease-based risk-adjusted mortality, 92 of 208 sites (44.2%) were classified into a higher category for procedural risk-adjusted mortality. Bland-Altman plots for the overall linked cohort demonstrate a mean difference between EMR-P and EMR-D of 0.49% (95% CI, -1.61% to 2.58%; P < .001), with procedural mortality higher than disease-based mortality. However, among patients with AMI complicated by cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest, the mean difference between EMR-P and EMR-D was -0.64% (95% CI, -4.41% to 3.12%; P < .001), with procedural mortality lower than disease-based mortality. Conclusions and Relevance This study suggests that, for hospitals treating patients with AMI, there is only a moderate correlation between procedural outcomes and disease-based outcomes. Nearly half of hospitals in the highest tertile of performance for PCI performance were reclassified into a lower performance tertile when judged by disease-based metrics. Higher rates of mortality were observed when using disease-based metrics compared with procedural metrics when assessing patients with cardiogenic shock and/or cardiac arrest, signifying what appears to be potential risk avoidance among this highest-risk subset of patients.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has required a shift in health care delivery platforms, necessitating a new reliance on telemedicine. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether inequities are present in telemedicine use and video visit use for telemedicine visits during the COVID-19 pandemic. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this cohort study, a retrospective medical record review was conducted from March 16 to May 11, 2020, of all patients scheduled for telemedicine visits in primary care and specialty ambulatory clinics at a large academic health system. Age, race/ethnicity, sex, language, median household income, and insurance type were all identified from the electronic medical record. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES A successfully completed telemedicine visit and video (vs telephone) visit for a telemedicine encounter. Multivariable models were used to assess the association between sociodemographic factors, including sex, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and language, and the use of telemedicine visits, as well as video use specifically. RESULTS A total of 148 402 unique patients (86 055 women [58.0%]; mean [SD] age, 56.5 [17.7] years) had scheduled telemedicine visits during the study period; 80 780 patients (54.4%) completed visits. Of 78 539 patients with completed visits in which visit modality was specified, 35 824 (45.6%) were conducted via video, whereas 24 025 (56.9%) had a telephone visit. In multivariable models, older age (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.85 [95% CI, 0.83-0.88] for those aged 55-64 years; aOR, 0.75 [95% CI, 0.72-0.78] for those aged 65-74 years; aOR, 0.67 [95% CI, 0.64-0.70] for those aged ≥75 years), Asian race (aOR, 0.69 [95% CI, 0.66-0.73]), non-English language as the patient's preferred language (aOR, 0.84 [95% CI, 0.78-0.90]), and Medicaid insurance (aOR, 0.93 [95% CI, 0.89-0.97]) were independently associated with fewer completed telemedicine visits. Older age (aOR, 0.79 [95% CI, 0.76-0.82] for those aged 55-64 years; aOR, 0.78 [95% CI, 0.74-0.83] for those aged 65-74 years; aOR, 0.49 [95% CI, 0.46-0.53] for those aged ≥75 years), female sex (aOR, 0.92 [95% CI, 0.90-0.95]), Black race (aOR, 0.65 [95% CI, 0.62-0.68]), Latinx ethnicity (aOR, 0.90 [95% CI, 0.83-0.97]), and lower household income (aOR, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.54-0.60] for income <$50 000; aOR, 0.89 [95% CI, 0.85-0.92], for $50 000-$100 000) were associated with less video use for telemedicine visits. These results were similar across medical specialties. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this cohort study of patients scheduled for primary care and medical specialty ambulatory telemedicine visits at a large academic health system during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, older patients, Asian patients, and non-English-speaking patients had lower rates of telemedicine use, while older patients, female patients, Black, Latinx, and poorer patients had less video use. Inequities in accessing telemedicine care are present, which warrant further attention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles impair clopidogrel effectiveness after percutaneous coronary intervention, but the clinical impact of implementing CYP2C19 genotyping in a real-world setting is unknown. The purpose of the study was to determine whether returning CYP2C19 genotype results along with genotype-guided pharmacotherapy recommendations using a rapid turnaround test would change antiplatelet prescribing following percutaneous coronary intervention.The primary outcome was the rate of prasugrel or ticagrelor prescribing in each arm. Secondary outcomes included agreement to the genotype-guided recommendations. METHODS At the time of percutaneous coronary intervention, participants were randomly assigned to prospective rapid point-of-care genotyping of CYP2C19 major alleles (*2, *3, *17) via salivary swab (genotyped group) or no genotyping (usual care) to guide antiplatelet drug selection. Interventional cardiologists at 2 cardiac catheterization laboratories within the same health system were provided genotype information along with genotype-guided pharmacotherapy recommendations. RESULTS A total of 504 participants were randomized, 249 to the genotyped and 255 to the usual care group. The participants were primarily men (73%); age, 63±10 years; and 50% had acute coronary syndromes. In the genotyped group, 28% were carriers of loss-of-function alleles (*2, *3). The use of prasugrel or ticagrelor was significantly higher in the genotyped group compared with the usual care group (30% versus 21%; odds ratio, 1.60 [95% CI, 1.07-2.42]; P=0.03). Within the genotyped group, 53% of loss-of-function allele carriers were started on prasugrel/ticagrelor, while 47% were started on clopidogrel. CONCLUSIONS In a randomized controlled trial of clinical CYP2C19 genotyping implementation, pharmacogenetic test results significantly influenced antiplatelet drug prescribing; however, almost half of CYP2C19 loss-of-function carriers continued to receive clopidogrel. Interventional cardiologists consider both clinical and genetic factors when selecting antiplatelet therapy following percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Measuring fractional flow reserve (FFR) with a pressure wire remains underutilized because of the invasiveness of guide wire placement or the need for a hyperemic stimulus. FFR derived from routine coronary angiography (FFRangio) eliminates both of these requirements and displays FFR values of the entire coronary tree. The FFRangio Accuracy versus Standard FFR (FAST-FFR) study is a prospective, multicenter, international trial with the primary goal of determining the accuracy of FFRangio. METHODS Coronary angiography was performed in a routine fashion in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. FFR was measured in vessels with coronary lesions of varying severity using a coronary pressure wire and hyperemic stimulus. Based on angiograms of the respective arteries acquired in ≥2 different projections, on-site operators blinded to FFR then calculated FFRangio using proprietary software. Coprimary end points were the sensitivity and specificity of the dichotomously scored FFRangio for predicting pressure wire-derived FFR using a cutoff value of 0.80. The study was powered to meet prespecified performance goals for sensitivity and specificity. RESULTS Ten centers in the United States, Europe, and Israel enrolled a total of 301 subjects and 319 vessels meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria which were included in the final analysis. The mean FFR was 0.81 and 43% of vessels had an FFR≤0.80. The per-vessel sensitivity and specificity were 94% (95% CI, 88% to 97%) and 91% (86% to 95%), respectively, both of which exceeded the prespecified performance goals. The diagnostic accuracy of FFRangio was 92% overall and remained high when only considering FFR values between 0.75 to 0.85 (87%). FFRangio values correlated well with FFR measurements ( r=0.80, P<0.001) and the Bland-Altman 95% confidence limits were between -0.14 and 0.12. The device success rate for FFRangio was 99%. CONCLUSIONS FFRangio measured from the coronary angiogram alone has a high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy compared with pressure wire-derived FFR. FFRangio has the promise to substantially increase physiological coronary lesion assessment in the catheterization laboratory, thereby potentially leading to improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
Background Obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), yet these conditions remain inadequately treated. We report on the feasibility and efficacy of a nurse‐led risk factor modification program utilizing a pragmatic approach to address obesity and OSA in AF patients. Methods and Results AF patients with obesity (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2) and/or the need for OSA management (high risk per Berlin Questionnaire or untreated OSA) were voluntarily enrolled for risk factor modification, which comprised patient education, lifestyle modification, coordination with specialists, and longitudinal management. Weight loss and OSA treatment were monitored by monthly follow‐up calls and/or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) unit downloads. Quality of life and arrhythmia symptoms were assessed with the SF‐36 and AF Severity Scale at baseline and at 6 months. From November 1, 2016 to October 31, 2017, 252 patients (age 63±11 years; 71% male; 57% paroxysmal AF) were enrolled, 189 for obesity and 93 for OSA. Obese patients who enrolled lost significantly greater percent body weight than those who declined (3% versus 0.3%; P<0.05). Among 93 patients enrolled for OSA, 70 completed sleep studies, OSA was confirmed in 50, and the majority (76%) started CPAP therapy. All components of quality of life and arrhythmia symptoms improved significantly from baseline to 6 months among enrolled patients. Conclusions A nurse‐led risk factor modification program is a potentially sustainable and generalizable model that can improve weight loss and OSA in AF patients, translating into improved quality of life and arrhythmia symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients and other providers have access to few publicly available physician attributes that identify interventional cardiologists with better postprocedural outcomes, particularly in states without public reporting of outcomes. Interventional cardiology board certification, maintenance of certification, graduation from a US medical school, medical school ranking, and length of practice represent such publicly available attributes. Previous studies on these measures have shown mixed results. METHODS AND RESULTS We included interventional cardiologists practicing in New York State in the years 2011 to 2013. The primary outcome was 30-day risk-standardized mortality rate (RSMR) after percutaneous coronary intervention. Hierarchical regression modeling was used to analyze the physician attributes and was adjusted for provider caseload. A total of 356 providers were studied. The average 30-day RSMR was 1.1 (SD=0.1) deaths per 100 cases for all percutaneous coronary interventions and 0.7 (SD=0.1) deaths per 100 cases for nonemergent procedures. The primary outcome was slightly lower among providers with interventional cardiology board certification compared with noncertified providers (1.06 [SD=0.14] versus 1.14 [SD=0.14] deaths per 100 cases; P<0.001). In multivariable hierarchical regression modeling, after adjusting for provider caseload, none of the physician attributes were associated with the primary outcome. Provider caseload was significantly associated with 30-day RSMR independent of the other attributes. CONCLUSIONS Interventional cardiology board-certified providers had a modestly lower 30-day RSMR before accounting for caseload. However, after adjusting for provider caseload, none of the examined publicly available physician attributes, including interventional cardiology board certification, were independently associated with 30-day RSMR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The IRIS trial (Insulin Resistance Intervention After Stroke) demonstrated that pioglitazone reduced the risk for both cardiovascular events and diabetes mellitus in insulin-resistant patients. However, concern remains that pioglitazone may increase the risk for heart failure (HF) in susceptible individuals. METHODS In IRIS, patients with insulin resistance but without diabetes mellitus were randomized to pioglitazone or placebo (1:1) within 180 days of an ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack and followed for ≤5 years. To identify patients at higher HF risk with pioglitazone, we performed a secondary analysis of IRIS participants without HF history at entry. HF episodes were adjudicated by an external review, and treatment effects were analyzed using time-to-event methods. A baseline HF risk score was constructed from a Cox model estimated using stepwise selection. Baseline patient features (individually and summarized in risk score) and postrandomization events were examined as possible modifiers of the effect of pioglitazone. Net cardiovascular benefit was estimated for the composite of stroke, myocardial infarction, and hospitalized HF. RESULTS Among 3851 patients, the mean age was 63 years, and 65% were male. The 5-year HF risk did not differ by treatment (4.1% pioglitazone, 4.2% placebo). Risk for hospitalized HF was low and not significantly greater in pioglitazone compared with placebo groups (2.9% versus 2.3%, P=0.36). Older age, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, obesity, edema, high C-reactive protein, and smoking were risk factors for HF. However, the effect of pioglitazone did not differ across levels of baseline HF risk (hazard ratio [95% CI] for pioglitazone versus placebo for patients at low, moderate, and high risk: 1.03 [0.61-1.73], 1.10 [0.56-2.15], and 1.08 [0.58-2.01]; interaction P value=0.98). HF risk was increased in patients with versus those without incident myocardial infarction in both groups (pioglitazone: 31.4% versus 2.7%; placebo: 25.7% versus 2.4%; P<0.0001). Edema, dyspnea, and weight gain in the trial did not predict HF hospitalization but led to more study drug dose reduction with a lower mean dose of pioglitazone versus placebo (29±17 mg versus 33±15 mg, P<0.0001). Pioglitazone reduced the composite outcome of stroke, myocardial infarction, or hospitalized HF (hazard ratio, 0.78; P=0.007). CONCLUSIONS In IRIS, with surveillance and dose adjustments, pioglitazone did not increase the risk of HF and conferred net cardiovascular benefit in patients with insulin resistance and cerebrovascular disease. The risk of HF with pioglitazone was not modified by baseline HF risk. The IRIS experience may be instructive for maximizing the net benefit of this therapy.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Current guidelines recommend prasugrel hydrochloride and ticagrelor hydrochloride as preferred therapies for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, it is not well known how frequently these newer agents are being used in clinical practice or how adherence varies among the platelet adenosine diphosphate P2Y12 receptor (P2Y12) inhibitors. OBJECTIVES To determine trends in use of the different P2Y12 inhibitors in patients who underwent PCI from 2008 to 2016 in a large cohort of commercially insured patients and differences in patient adherence and costs among the P2Y12 inhibitors. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A retrospective cohort study used administrative claims from a large US national insurer (ie, UnitedHealthcare) from January 1, 2008, to December 1, 2016, comprising patients aged 18 to 64 years hospitalized for PCI who had not received a P2Y12 inhibitor for 90 days preceding PCI. The P2Y12 inhibitor filled within 30 days of discharge was identified from pharmacy claims. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Proportion of patients filling prescriptions for P2Y12 inhibitors within 30 days of discharge by year, as well as medication possession ratios (MPRs) and total P2Y12 inhibitor copayments at 6 and 12 months for patients who received drug-eluting stents. RESULTS A total of 55 340 patients (12 754 [23.0%] women; mean [SD] age, 54.4 [7.1] years) who underwent PCI were included in this study. In 2008, 7667 (93.6%) patients filled a prescription for clopidogrel bisulfate and 521 (6.4%) filled no P2Y12 inhibitor prescription within 30 days of hospitalization. In 2016, 2406 (44.0%) patients filled clopidogrel prescriptions, 2015 (36.9%) filled either prasugrel or ticagrelor prescriptions, and 1045 (19.1%) patients filled no P2Y12 inhibitor prescription within 30 days of hospitalization. At 6 months, mean MPRs for patients who received a drug-eluting stent filling clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor prescriptions were 0.85 (interquartile range [IQR], 0.82-1.00), 0.79 (IQR, 0.66-1.00), and 0.76 (IQR, 0.66-0.98) (P < .001), respectively; mean copayments for a 6 months' supply were $132 (IQR, $47-$203), $287 (IQR, $152-$389), and $265 (IQR, $53-$387) (P < .001), respectively. At 12 months, mean MPRs for clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor were 0.76 (IQR, 0.58-0.99), 0.71 (IQR, 0.49-0.98), and 0.68 (IQR, 0.41-0.94) (P < .001), respectively; mean total copayments were $251 (IQR, $100-$371), $556 (IQR, $348-$730), and $557 (IQR, $233-$744) (P < .001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Between 2008 and 2016, increased use of prasugrel and ticagrelor was accompanied by increased nonfilling of prescriptions for P2Y12 inhibitors within 30 days of discharge. Prasugrel and ticagrelor had higher patient costs and lower adherence in the year following PCI compared with clopidogrel. The introduction of newer, more expensive P2Y12 inhibitors was associated with lower adherence to these therapies.

Abstract
Objective:
The desired goal of atrial fibrillation (AF) management is maintenance of sinus rhythm in order to improve quality of life (QoL) and arrhythmia symptoms (AS). Although obesity and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are known risk factors for development of AF, these remain inadequately treated. We report the impact of prospectively modifying these risk factors on QoL and AS in AF patients (pts).
Methods:
AF pts with obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥30kg/m
2
) and/or the need for OSA management (high-risk as per Berlin Questionnaire or untreated OSA) were voluntarily enrolled in a nurse-led risk factor modification (RFM) program at their arrhythmia clinic visit. RFM entailed patient education, lifestyle modification counseling, coordination of care with appropriate specialists, and longitudinal care management. Progress with weight loss (WL) and OSA treatment was monitored via monthly follow-up calls and/or downloads from continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) units for up to 12 months. QoL and AS were determined with the SF-36 and AF Severity Scale (AFSS) respectively, and were assessed at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. Student t-test and chi-square tests were used to compare continuous and dichotomous variables.
Results:
From 11/1/16 to 10/31/17, 252 pts (age 63±11 years; male=179; paroxysmal AF=126) were enrolled as follows: 189 for obesity and 93 for OSA. The mean WL was 2.7±3.8% from baseline and 78% (n=126 of 162 pts with available data) of enrolled obese patients achieved WL. Among 93 pts at risk for OSA, 70 completed sleep studies and 50 were identified with OSA. Majority of these patients (76%; n=38 of 50) started CPAP therapy and have remained full (57%; n=17 of 30 pts with available CPAP data) and partial (13%; n=4 of 30) users. Table shows that SF-36 and AFSS scores improved for most measures of QoL and AS from baseline to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Participation in a risk factor modification program targeting obesity and obstructive sleep apnea can improve quality of life and arrhythmia symptoms in patients with atrial fibrillation. The impact of this strategy on long-term maintenance of sinus rhythm remains to be determined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance is highly prevalent among patients with atherosclerosis and is associated with an increased risk for myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. The IRIS trial (Insulin Resistance Intervention after Stroke) demonstrated that pioglitazone decreased the composite risk for fatal or nonfatal stroke and MI in patients with insulin resistance without diabetes mellitus, after a recent ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack. The type and severity of cardiac events in this population and the impact of pioglitazone on these events have not been described. METHODS We performed a secondary analysis of the effects of pioglitazone, in comparison with placebo, on acute coronary syndromes (MI and unstable angina) among IRIS participants. All potential acute coronary syndrome episodes were adjudicated in a blinded fashion by an independent clinical events committee. RESULTS The study cohort was composed of 3876 IRIS participants, mean age 63 years, 65% male, 89% white race, and 12% with a history of coronary artery disease. Over a median follow-up of 4.8 years, there were 225 acute coronary syndrome events, including 141 MIs and 84 episodes of unstable angina. The MIs included 28 (19%) with ST-segment elevation. The majority of MIs were type 1 (94, 65%), followed by type 2 (45, 32%). Serum troponin was 10× to 100× upper limit of normal in 49 (35%) and >100× upper limit of normal in 39 (28%). Pioglitazone reduced the risk of acute coronary syndrome (hazard ratio, 0.71; 95% confidence interval, 0.54-0.94; P=0.02). Pioglitazone also reduced the risk of type 1 MI (hazard ratio, 0.62; 95% confidence interval, 0.40-0.96; log-rank P=0.03), but not type 2 MI (hazard ratio, 1.05; 95% confidence interval, 0.58-1.91; P=0.87). Similarly, pioglitazone reduced the risk of large MIs with serum troponin >100× upper limit of normal (hazard ratio, 0.44; 95% confidence interval, 0.22-0.87; P=0.02), but not smaller MIs. CONCLUSIONS Among patients with insulin resistance without diabetes mellitus, pioglitazone reduced the risk for acute coronary syndromes after a recent cerebrovascular event. Pioglitazone appeared to have its most prominent effect in preventing spontaneous type 1 MIs. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION URL: http://clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00091949.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to present an overview of the recent evidence regarding the use of bioresorbable scaffolds in percutaneous coronary intervention. RECENT FINDINGS Bioresorbable scaffolds represent a potentially unique engineering solution to the problems associated with metallic stents. The Absorb everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold has been the most extensively tested of this class and is currently Food and Drug Administration-approved for use in the USA. While early studies suggested that it has comparable overall efficacy as compared to drug-eluting metallic stents, they also demonstrated a significantly increased risk of stent thrombosis. Bioresorbable scaffolds may be comparable to drug-eluting stents, though associated with an increased risk of stent thrombosis. They are a nascent technology with several competitive product designs in development and continued iterative technological improvements are expected over the next several years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease is the single leading cause of death in the United States, and medications can significantly reduce the rate of repeat cardiovascular events and treatment procedures. Adherence to these medications, however, is very low. METHODS HeartStrong is a national randomized trial offering 3 innovations. First, the intervention is built on concepts from behavioral economics that we expect to enhance its effectiveness. Second, the implementation of the trial takes advantage of new technology, including wireless pill bottles and remote feedback, to substantially automate procedures. Third, the trial's design includes an enhancement of the standard randomized clinical trial that allows rapid-cycle innovation and ongoing program enhancement. RESULTS Using a system involving direct data feeds from 6 insurance partners followed by mail, telephone, and email contact, we enrolled 1,509 patients discharged from the hospital with acute myocardial infarction in a 2:1 ratio of intervention:usual care. The intervention period lasts 1 year; the primary outcome is time to first fatal or nonfatal acute vascular event or revascularization, including acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, acute coronary syndrome admission, or death. CONCLUSIONS Our randomized controlled trial of the HeartStrong program will provide an evaluation of a state-of-the-art behavioral economic intervention with a number of important pragmatic features. These include a tailored intervention responding to patient activity, streamlining of consent and implementation processes using new technologies, outcomes centrally important to patients, and the ability to implement rapid-cycle innovation.

Abstract
Background:
Early hospital discharge for patients has been linked to improved post-discharge outcomes. Health systems continue to struggle with early discharges and past interventions have centered around provider perspectives of the discharge process, with no identifiable studies focusing on patient perspectives. We sought to examine the discharge process from a comprehensive perspective, obtaining simultaneous patient and healthcare provider beliefs to improve our institution’s discharge process.
Methods:
Our study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Pennsylvania and all participants provided informed consent. Physicians and nurses who took part in discharges from our inpatient cardiology services participated in an electronic survey regarding discharge processes over a six-month period. Patients being discharged from these services also completed anonymous surveys at the time of discharge from the hospital.
Results:
The survey was completed by 476 patients, 47 nurses, and 44 physicians. Approximately 54% of physicians and 43% of nurses reported that the ideal time of discharge is between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM. A vast majority (85%) of patients reported that discharges before 2:00 PM are best, with 60% of patients reporting that discharges should ideally occur before 12:00 PM. Nearly half (46%) of patients, 64% of physicians, and 75% of nurses reported that the discharges they participated in occurred after 2:00 PM, which was consistent with the mean discharge times reported by institutional data taken during the survey period. Less than half (40%) of patients also reported that they were informed of their discharge before 12:00 PM on their day of discharge. The majority of healthcare providers reported that they do not believe early discharges would reduce the rate of 30-day readmissions (physicians 87%, nurses 88%) or lead to safer discharges (physicians 78%, nurses 69%). More than one-third (36%) of patients reported that a delay in coordination of transitional care (e.g. medication delivery, transportation issues, and inadequate communication with primary team) contributed to a later discharge time.
Conclusion:
Our data reveal that both patients and providers believe that the optimal time for discharge is prior to 12:00 PM, despite the fact that most discharges occur after 2:00 PM. Patients cite delays in coordination of transitional care as the most common reason for delayed discharge times, and were typically informed of their formal discharge after noon on the day of discharge. Although most healthcare providers do not believe that early discharge improves outcomes, additional studies are needed to investigate outcomes associated with early discharge time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Determination of clinical outcomes following resuscitation from cardiac arrest remains elusive in the immediate post-arrest period. Echocardiographic assessment shortly after resuscitation has largely focused on left ventricular (LV) function. We aimed to determine whether post-arrest right ventricular (RV) dysfunction predicts worse survival and poor neurologic outcome in cardiac arrest patients, independent of LV dysfunction. METHODS A single-center, retrospective cohort study at a tertiary care university hospital participating in the Penn Alliance for Therapeutic Hypothermia (PATH) Registry between 2000 and 2012. PATIENTS 291 in- and out-of-hospital adult cardiac arrest patients at the University of Pennsylvania who had return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and post-arrest echocardiograms. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of the 291 patients, 57% were male, with a mean age of 59 ± 16 years. 179 (63%) patients had LV dysfunction, 173 (59%) had RV dysfunction, and 124 (44%) had biventricular dysfunction on the initial post-arrest echocardiogram. Independent of LV function, RV dysfunction was predictive of worse survival (mild or moderate: OR 0.51, CI 0.26-0.99, p<0.05; severe: OR 0.19, CI 0.06-0.65, p=0.008) and neurologic outcome (mild or moderate: OR 0.33, CI 0.17-0.65, p=0.001; severe: OR 0.11, CI 0.02-0.50, p=0.005) compared to patients with normal RV function after cardiac arrest. CONCLUSIONS Echocardiographic findings of post-arrest RV dysfunction were equally prevalent as LV dysfunction. RV dysfunction was significantly predictive of worse outcomes in post-arrest patients after accounting for LV dysfunction. Post-arrest RV dysfunction may be useful for risk stratification and management in this high-mortality population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation for coronary artery disease (CAD) is recommended prior to surgery for ascending aortic aneurysms. Concerns regarding the use of coronary angiography in this population include safety and the ability to successfully selectively engage the coronary arteries. Additionally, the prevalence of CAD is not well described. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all patients referred for cardiac catheterization prior to elective surgery for an ascending aortic aneurysm at our institution over a 4-year period. Catheter selection was based on knowledge of the aneurysm size. Images were screened for whether selective coronary engagement was achieved and for the presence of significant coronary disease. RESULTS A total of 205 patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 61 years and 63% were male. There were no adverse events related to catheterization. The left coronary artery was selectively engaged in 98% of patients, and the right coronary in 92%. On average, 3.1 catheters were used for angiography per patient. Coronary artery disease was present in 19% of patients (n = 39). Increasing age was the only risk factor significantly associated with the presence of disease. Coronary bypass was required in 15% of patients at the time of aortic aneurysm surgery. CONCLUSIONS Coronary angiography can be performed safely and the coronary arteries can be successfully selectively engaged in patients with ascending aortic aneurysms. The findings frequently impact the surgical approach. We believe that coronary angiography should be part of the routine preoperative evaluation in appropriate patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains unacceptably low. Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the most efficacious treatment option available for comatose survivors of cardiac arrest. However, clearly delineated instructions for how to induce, maintain, and conclude TH have not been published in a codified format. OBJECTIVE We assembled 11 clinicians from the University of Pennsylvania Schools of Medicine and Nursing for a day-long moderated discussion to review our institution's TH protocol and reach consensus on a step-by-step management plan of the comatose survivor of OHCA. We attempted to systematically work our way through the existing University of Pennsylvania TH protocol. The goal was to address critical decisions at each stage of care of the post-arrest patient, including whom to cool, how to cool, how long to cool, how to rewarm, neuroprognostication, and other fundamental aspects of patient management. We made every effort to include relevant scientific evidence with appropriate citations. However, given the paucity of data in certain areas, we have relied heavily on expert opinion. SUMMARY We present a step-by-step management plan for incorporation of TH in the care of the comatose survivor of OHCA, which can be adapted to a variety of clinical settings with diverse resources. This article is intended to supplement current care provided by health care providers and should be adopted in concert with current standards of post-arrest and intensive care unit care.

Abstract
Background—
Aortic valve area (AVA) in aortic stenosis (AS) can be assessed noninvasively or invasively, typically with similar results. These techniques have not been validated in elderly patients, where common assumptions make them most prone to error. Accurate assessment of AVA is crucial to determine which patients are appropriate candidates for aortic valve replacement.
Methods and Results—
Fifty elderly patients (mean 86 years, 46% female) referred for cardiac catheterization to evaluate AS also underwent transthoracic echocardiography within 24 hours. To minimize assumptions all patients had 3-dimensional echocardiography (Echo-3D), and at catheterization using directly measured oxygen consumption (Cath-mVo
2
) and thermodilution cardiac output (Cath-TD). Correlation between Cath-mVo
2
and Echo-3D AVA was poor (
r
=0.41). Cath-TD AVA had a moderate correlation with Echo-3D AVA (
r
=0.59). Cath-mVo
2
(AVA=0.69 cm
2
) and Cath-TD (AVA=0.66 cm
2
) underestimated AVA compared with Echo-3D (AVA=0.76 cm
2;
P
=0.08 for comparison with Cath-mVo
2
;
P
=0.001 for Cath-TD). Compared with Echo-3D, the sensitivity and specificity for determining critical disease (AVA <0.8 cm
2
) were 81% and 42% for Cath-mVo
2
, and 97% and 53% for Cath-TD. The only independent predictor of the difference between noninvasive and invasive AVA was stroke volume index (
P
<0.01). Resistance, a less flow-dependent measure, showed a stronger correlation between Echo-3D and Cath-mVo
2
(
r
=0.69), and Echo-3D and Cath-TD (
r
=0.77).
Conclusions—
Standard techniques of AVA assessment for AS show poor correlation in elderly patients, with frequent misclassification of critical AS. Less flow-dependent measures, such as resistance, should be considered to ensure that only appropriate patients are treated with aortic valve replacement.

Abstract
PURPOSE To prospectively evaluate outcomes associated with use of a triple-lumen (TL) peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were prospectively enrolled in this HIPAA-compliant, institutional review board-approved study. Informed consent was obtained. All patients were in one hospital's ICUs and needed intermediate-term central venous access requiring three lumina. A 6-F tapered TL PICC was placed by a bedside nursing-based team with backup from the Interventional Radiology department. Placement complications, as well as long-term complications, were recorded. At catheter removal, ultrasonography (US) of the veins containing the TL PICC was performed to detect occult venous thrombosis. Regardless of indication for removal, catheters were sent for culture to detect colonization. RESULTS The study was stopped prematurely after 50 of a planned 167 patients were enrolled when a scheduled interim analysis detected a venous thrombosis rate that was considered unacceptably high by the study oversight committee (thrombosis was symptomatic in 20% of patients [10 of 50]). Venous thrombosis (symptomatic or asymptomatic) was detected in 26 of 45 patients (58%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 43%, 72%) examined with US. Documented catheter-related bloodstream infection did not occur (0%; 95% CI: 0%, 7%); colonization was detected in three of 29 catheter tips sent for culture (10%; 95% CI: 2%, 27%). Catheter malfunction and dislodgment occurred in one patient each. CONCLUSION The TL PICC design used in this study resulted in unacceptably high venous thrombosis rates. Even when used in a high-risk setting for infection (ie, the ICU), rates of clinically evident infection and colonization were absent and low, respectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report the feasibility of a collagen-mediated closure device using a modified Angio-Seal closure technique for access site management following percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV). BACKGROUND With the advent of percutaneous aortic valve replacement therapies, there has been a resurgence of interest in BAV procedures. Vascular complications, including bleeding, are a common source of morbidity post procedure as a result of the requirement for large bore femoral artery access. The use of vascular closure devices may reduce bleeding complications. METHODS We describe a new technique for vascular closure in this setting. At the conclusion of the valvuloplasty procedure, two 0.035'' wires are inserted through the femoral artery sheath. A conventional collagen-mediated closure device (8F Angio-Seal) is deployed over the first wire and along side the second wire. If immediate hemostasis is not achieved, a second device is loaded onto the second wire and deployed to achieve hemostasis. RESULTS Percutaneous BAV was performed in 21 patients. Hemostasis was successfully achieved in all patients with either a single 8F Angio-Seal closure device (18 patients) or after placement of a second device (three patients). CONCLUSIONS The modified "Double Wire" Angio-Seal technique is a feasible method for hemostasis following percutaneous BAV.

Abstract
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is an increasingly recognized clinical syndrome of transient left ventricular dysfunction, commonly with apical ballooning, in the context of physical or emotional stress. Recently, an inverted-Takotsubo contractile pattern has been described with hypokinesis of the basal and mid-ventricular segments and sparing of the apex. We report a case of a 30-year-old man presenting with transient left ventricular dysfunction in an inverted-Takotsubo contractile pattern, associated with a newly discovered pheochromocytoma, and present a literature review of the inverted-Takotsubo contractile pattern cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Acute coronary syndromes (ACS), which include unstable angina and myocardial infarction (MI) with or without ST-segment elevation, are life-threatening disorders that remain a source of high morbidity and mortality despite advances in treatment. Nearly 1.5 million hospital discharges involve patients with ACS. According to statistics from the American Heart Association (AHA), approximately 18% of men and 23% of women over the age of 40 will die within 1 year of having an initial recognized MI. The economic burden of ACS is also very high, costing Americans more than $150 billion, according to AHA estimates. Approximately 20% of the ACS patients are rehospitalized within 1 year, and nearly 60% of the costs related to ACS result from rehospitalization. However, the evidence-based therapeutic management of ACS remains suboptimal. An understanding of the drivers of morbidity, mortality, and costs associated with ACS will help in developing strategies to reduce the burden of the disease. The evidence regarding the effects of early revascularization and stenting on survival rates in ACS patients is discussed. Currently available evidence-based and new practice guidelines determine the pros and cons of invasive versus conservative strategies for treating ACS. By evaluating the predictors of optimal medical therapy and mortality post-discharge, healthcare providers involved in the managed care play a key role in providing efficient, safe, and cost-effective ACS treatment.

Abstract
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (hoFH) is caused by mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor gene and is characterized by severe hypercholesterolemia from birth and onset of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) during childhood. The onset and progression of CVD using currently available testing methods in children with hoFH have not been fully characterized. A large cohort of patients with hoFH referred to our subspecialty clinic was studied. Thirty-nine patients (22 aged < or =16 years) underwent extensive cardiovascular, lipid, and genetic evaluation. Sixteen children < or =16 years without known CVD when first evaluated were followed up longitudinally for up to 8 years. CVD was clinically evident in 88% of subjects aged >16 years and 9% of those < or =16 years. Markers of atherosclerosis correlated significantly with age at which lipid-lowering treatment was initiated (abnormal coronary angiogram, abnormal aortic valve using echocardiography, and high calcium score using electron beam computed tomography; all p <0.01; abnormal carotid Doppler result; p = 0.03). Twenty of 22 children had no clinical evidence of coronary artery disease, yet 7 of these children had angiographically confirmed mild coronary artery disease (<50%) and 8 had mild to moderate aortic regurgitation using echocardiography. Of noninvasive tests, only evaluation of aortic valve regurgitation using echocardiography predicted the presence of angiographic coronary stenosis (p <0.001). During follow-up, 7 children developed progression of coronary and/or aortic valvular disease during their teenage years and 4 required surgical interventions. In conclusion, in these patients aggressive lipid-lowering treatment initiated in early childhood is warranted. Careful coronary and valvular surveillance strategies and coronary revascularization when appropriate are also warranted in this high-risk population.
