This book provides clinicians with the information needed to effectively interpret the literature from observational and interventional cardiovascular outcomes studies. The book begins by providing a historical context of cardiovascular epidemiology, followed by chapters addressing key concepts in the study of cardiovascular disease such as the types of cardiovascular outcomes studies, basic and evolving design and statistical considerations, current guidelines for reducing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk, surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease, challenges in developing evidence-based recommendations for non-pharmacological interventions, an overview of the pharmaceutical development process, and a detailed discussion of the clinical evidence supporting several factors and their relationships with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (lipids, inflammation, hemostasis, heart rhythm, blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and chronic kidney disease). Cardiovascular Outcomes Research is a must-have resource for physicians and other clinicians, residents, fellows, and medical students in cardiology, endocrinology, primary care, and health promotion and disease prevention.

Due to population aging, calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) has become the most common heart valve disease in Western countries. No therapies exist to slow this disease progression, and surgical valve replacement is the only effective treatment. Calcific Aortic Valve Disease covers the contemporary understanding of basic valve biology and the mechanisms of CAVD, provides novel insights into the genetics, proteomics, and metabolomics of CAVD, depicts new strategies in heart valve tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, and explores current treatment approaches. As we are on the verge of understanding the mechanisms of CAVD, we hope that this book will enable readers to comprehend our current knowledge and focus on the possibility of preventing disease progression in the future.

Cardiac arrest can strike a seemingly healthy individual of any age, race, ethnicity, or gender at any time in any location, often without warning. Cardiac arrest is the third leading cause of death in the United States, following cancer and heart disease. Four out of five cardiac arrests occur in the home, and more than 90 percent of individuals with cardiac arrest die before reaching the hospital. First and foremost, cardiac arrest treatment is a community issue - local resources and personnel must provide appropriate, high-quality care to save the life of a community member. Time between onset of arrest and provision of care is fundamental, and shortening this time is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of death and disability from cardiac arrest. Specific actions can be implemented now to decrease this time, and recent advances in science could lead to new discoveries in the causes of, and treatments for, cardiac arrest. However, specific barriers must first be addressed. Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival examines the complete system of response to cardiac arrest in the United States and identifies opportunities within existing and new treatments, strategies, and research that promise to improve the survival and recovery of patients. The recommendations of Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival provide high-priority actions to advance the field as a whole. This report will help citizens, government agencies, and private industry to improve health outcomes from sudden cardiac arrest across the United States.

The purpose of this dissertation is to describe methods for use of real-world data resources to study quality of care and outcomes for patients with critical limb ischemia. We used the Cerner Health Facts de-identified EHR database to 1) exclude patient records except those with critical limb ischemia from clinical sites in the Health Facts database, 2) document variability in patient outcomes after critical limb ischemia care, and 3) document variability in evidence-based medical therapy for the treatment of critical limb ischemia. We derived a data mart from the Health Facts database and identified 31,490 unique patients seen in 79,359 unique encounters at 233 unique clinical sites in the Health Facts database between 2010 and 2017. Of these, 20,204 encounters included endovascular peripheral vascular intervention. Within 30 days of the intervention, 2.8% of patient encounters resulted in a major amputation. We documented the association of modifiable patient factors with 30-day amputation and significant variation in 30-day amputation rates at the clinical site level. In addition to procedural quality outcomes, we examined rates of guideline directed medical therapy--medications indicated to reduce risk of adverse outcomes in all patients with critical limb ischemia. Only 27.2% of patient encounters documented complete medical therapy while 72.4% documented some component of therapy. As with 30-day amputation outcomes, rates of the medical therapy quality metric varied widely between sites with a median rate of 38.2% and interquartile range of 16.3-60.1%. This work demonstrates the use of a national, EHR database for cardiovascular outcomes research. We documented 30-day amputation outcomes after peripheral vascular intervention--a metric of CLI treatment outcomes. We also documented quality of care--guideline directed medical therapy--surrounding an inpatient encounter for CLI. We documented site variability for both treatment outcomes and quality of care to inform future quality improvement work in the treatment of CLI nationally.
