OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The use of P2Y12 receptor inhibitors like Clopidogrel is crucial in the prevention of thrombotic events in patients with coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, and cerebrovascular disease. Variation in the level of platelet inhibition is present in many patients, and it is associated with the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). The term High-on treatment platelet reactivity (HTRP) is used to describe impaired antiplatelet inhibition while on Clopidogrel. Multiple factors have been associated with the presence of HTPR in patients with CAD and PAD, including CYP2C19 loss of function polymorphism, drug-drug interactions, and medical comorbidities. Gender differences are another factor that might influence the levels of platelet inhibition while on Clopidogrel and hence, HTPR. Differences by Gender exist in platelet biology, count, and activation. The evidence for the influence of Gender in HTPR is limited, but a possible association has been described. In this study, we described the association of Gender with HTPR and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACEs) occurrence. The data is from a sample of Hispano-Caribbean patients on Clopidogrel therapy alone or in combination with Aspirin that were retrospectively evaluated from an ongoing trial in Puerto Rico. The result of this study provided evidence of the influence that Gender has on antiplatelet therapy function and MACEs occurrence. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The population in the study consisted of Hispano-Caribbean patients using Clopidogrel alone or in combination with Aspirin for coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, or cerebrovascular disease. The sample was obtained from multiple hospital institutions with cardiovascular services in Puerto Rico during the years 2016-2019. Patients were part of the ongoing trial, “Adopting a precision medicine paradigm in Puerto Rico: leveraging ancestral diversity to identify predictors of Clopidogrel response in Caribbean Hispanics.” The sample size consisted of 150 patients. Participants were recruited during routine medical care, pre-admission evaluation for elective cardiac procedures, or during hospitalization in the participating institutions. Platelet reactivity testing was performed with the system Verify Now® to determine PRU values, and High on-treatment platelet reactivity was defined as PRU ≥208. One year after recruitment, the patients were re-evaluated for the occurrence of MACEs. The association of the variables HTPR, occurrence of MACEs, and Gender were assessed using logistic regression in addition to the role of HTPR and Gender for predicting MACE occurrence. The analysis was done using the statistic software Intellectus ©. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The sample consisted of 67 females and 83 males with and Mean age of 67.87 years and 61.11 years, respectively. The prevalence of HTPR in the sample was 32.67 % (n = 49) with 36% (n = 24) for females, and 30%(n = 25) for males. The mean PRU values were 179.54 for females and 170.81 for males. The percentage of MACEs one year after recruitment was 29.33 % (n = 44) with 43% on females (n = 19), and 57% on males (n = 25). Logistic regression for Gender predicting HTPR was non-significant with a χ2(2) = 0.55, p = .758, and McFadden R2 = 0.00. Also, logistic regression for the effects of Gender and HTPR on the Odds of MACEs occurrence was not significant based on a model with an alpha of 0.05, χ2(2) = 1.99, p = .370, and McFadden R2 = 0.01. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The sample consisted of 67 females and 83 males with and Mean age of 67.87 years and 61.11 years, respectively. The prevalence of HTPR in the sample was 32.67 % (n = 49) with 36% (n = 24) for females, and 30%(n = 25) for males. The mean PRU values were 179.54 (±70.42) for females and 170.81(±64.89) for males. The percentage of MACEs one year after recruitment was 29.33 % (n = 44) with 43% on females (n = 19), and 57% on males (n = 25). Logistic regression for Gender predicting HTPR was non-significant with a χ2(2) = 0.55, p = .758, and McFadden R2 = 0.00. Also, logistic regression for the effects of Gender and HTPR on the odds of MACEs occurrence was not significant based on a model with an alpha of 0.05, χ2(2) = 1.99, p = .370, and McFadden R2 = 0.01.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), but patients with severe CKD have been excluded from many trials and no objective performance goals exist for patients with PAD and CKD. We sought to analyze the association between severity of CKD and cardiovascular and limb-related outcomes among patients with PAD. Methods: We reviewed records of all patients at our institution who underwent lower extremity angiography between 2006 and 2013. We analyzed outcomes including mortality, major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) rate, and major adverse limb event (MALE) rate according to clinical stage of CKD, determined by calculating each patient’s glomerular filtration rate using the Cockcroft-Gault equation. We used Cox proportional hazard modeling to account for covariates, along with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. Results: Of 773 patients, 45% had CKD stage 3-5. The patients had a median age of 67, were 58% male, 51% diabetic, and 57% presented with critical limb ischemia (CLI). During a median follow-up time of 3.2 years, patients with higher stages of CKD had an increased rate of death (Figure 1, p<0.001). CKD stages 4 and 5 were significant predictors of mortality in a multivariate model (HR 3.2 and 2.4 vs. CKD 1, P<0.001 and P<0.01, respectively). An analysis of MACE by CKD stage demonstrated similar results (CKD 4 HR 2.2, p<0.01; CKD 5 HR 2.0, p<0.01). CKD stage also predicted MALE in a univariate analysis (p<0.01), driven by increased limb events among patients with CKD stage 5 (p<0.01). However, CKD stage did not demonstrate a significantly increased hazard of MALE in a multivariate Cox model. Conclusions: Patients with PAD who also have CKD have increased rates of adverse outcomes. This relationship seems to be more robust for major cardiovascular events and overall mortality than for major limb events. Future studies should investigate how management of PAD should differ for patients with CKD.

Patients with established cardiovascular disease may suffer further cardiovascular events, despite receiving optimal medical treatment. Although platelet inhibition plays a central role in the prevention of new events, the use of anticoagulant therapies to reduce events in atheromatous disease has, until recently, been overlooked. The recent Rivaroxaban for the Prevention of Major Cardiovascular Events in Coronary or Peripheral Artery Disease (COMPASS) study showed an important reduction in cardiovascular events without increasing the risk of fatal and intracranial bleeding when using rivaroxaban, a novel oral anticoagulant, combined with aspirin. This article reviews the available evidence regarding the use of anticoagulant therapies for prevention of cardiovascular events, the results of the COMPASS study and how these results may affect patient management in everyday clinical practice.

Introduction Increased platelet reactivity (PR) while on antiplatelet therapy is associated with worse outcomes. There are conflicting results regarding the influence of renal function on PR in patients taking clopidogrel. Here we assessed the relationship between renal function, PR, and outcomes in a community practice setting. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 98 consecutive, non-dialysis patients admitted for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) to our institution between 2011 and 2012 that had PR values measured with the VerifyNow P2Y12 Assay. High PR was defined as a PRU >230 and low PR as a PRU ≤178. Renal function was classified based on estimated glomerular filtration rate at the time of assay. All cause mortality, readmissions, length of stay (LOS), and number of cardiac catheterizations were reviewed over 455 days. Results The prevalence of PRU>230 was 100% in stage 4 and 5 CKD, 42.9% in stage 3, 53.8% in stage 2, and 53.3% in stage 1 (p=0.049, figure 1). In patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (n=49), a significant positive association existed between PRU and total number of cardiac catheterizations (p=0.014). Overall patients with PRU value >230 had longer LOS when compared to those with PRU≤230 (median of 2 days vs. 1 day, p=0.049). A positive correlation between HbA1c and PRU was also found (p=0.018). All 8 deaths had abnormal PRU (3 patients with PRU≤178, 5 patients with PRU>230). Conclusion Advanced CKD is associated with impairment of platelet inhibition by clopidogrel measured with the VerifyNow P2Y12 Assay. Elevated PRU is associated with worse outcomes. We observed a significant correlation between HbA1c and degree of platelet inhibition.

AbstractBackgroundBoth COVID-19 infection and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) cause hypercoagulability in patients, and it remains unknown whether PAD predisposes patients to experience worse outcomes when infected with SARS-CoV-2.MethodsThe Yale DOM-CovX Registry consecutively enrolled inpatients for SARS-CoV-2 between March 1, 2020, and November 10, 2020. Adjusted logistic regression models examined associations between PAD and mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE, all endpoints combined).ResultsOf the 3,830 patients were admitted with SARS-CoV-2, 50.5% were female, mean age was 63.1 ±18.4 years, 50.7% were minority race, and 18.3% (n = 693) had PAD. PAD was independently associated with increased mortality (OR=1.45, 95% CI 1.11-1.88) and MACE (OR=1.48, 95% CI 1.16-1.87). PAD was not independently associated with stroke (p=0.06) and MI (p=0.22).ConclusionPatients with PAD have a >40% odds of mortality and MACE when admitted with a SARS-CoV-2, independent of known risk factors.
