Abstract. Background: Biomarkers reflecting diverse pathophysiological pathways may play an important role in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (aortic diameter ≥30 mm, AAA), levels of many biomarkers are elevated and correlated to aortic diameter among 65-year-old men undergoing ultrasound (US) screening for AAA. Probands and methods: To evaluate potential relationships between biomarkers and aortic dilatation after long-term follow-up, levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), proneurotensin (PNT), copeptin (CPT), lipoprotein-associated phospholipase 2 (Lp-PLA2), cystatin C (Cyst C), midregional proatrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), and midregional proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) were measured in 117 subjects (114 [97 %] men) aged 47–49 in a prospective population-based cohort study, and related to aortic diameter at US examination of the aorta after 14–19 years of follow-up. Results: Biomarker levels at baseline did not correlate with aortic diameter after 14–19 years of follow up (CRP [r = 0.153], PNT [r = 0.070], CPT [r = –.156], Lp-PLA2 [r = .024], Cyst C [r = –.015], MR-proANP [r = 0.014], MR-proADM [r = –.117]). Adjusting for age and smoking at baseline in a linear regression model did not reveal any significant correlations. Conclusions: Tested biomarker levels at age 47–49 were not associated with aortic diameter at ultrasound examination after 14–19 years of follow-up. If there are relationships between these biomarkers and aortic dilatation, they are not relevant until closer to AAA diagnosis.

Cost And Benefit Analysis

Abstract Background Latin America Telemedicine Infarct Network (LATIN) employed telemedicine to construct a population-based AMI program in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Argentina. It increased access, accuracy and guidelines-based care and addressed fiscal issues. Previously, we demonstrated a cost and benefit analysis (CBA) of LATIN based upon avoiding unnecessary transfers and hospitalization. We have performed a scrupulous follow up of this initial observation with a long-term follow up from all expanded LATIN sites. Purpose To demonstrate that telemedicine avoids unnecessary transfer of patients. Methods 784,947 patients at LATIN spokes (small clinics in remote areas) were screened and CBA measured at hubs, spokes and telemedicine centers. Technology, transfer, inpatient, and procedure-related costs were included. A sensitivity analysis was performed for worst and best scenarios of costs, revenues, and savings. A comparison with Avera e-Emergency (Sioux Falls, SD) Telemedicine program, involving 85 rural hospitals in 7 states, is provided (13% transfer avoidance). Results Of 784,947 screened patients, 8,448 had STEMI (1.08%); 3,911 (46.3%) were urgently reperfused, 3,049 (78%) with PPCI. Time to Telemedicine Diagnosis was 3 min. With efficient triage, costs for non-AMI patients was controlled. LATIN expenses, including for IT and experts, were $272, and for transfer and indirect care, $1,068. Net savings/patient were $796. Savings, till date, range between $187.4 million and $62.4 million (Best scenario −30% transfer avoidance; Worse scenario −10% transfer avoidance). Conclusions Longitudinal analysis firms the trend of enormous cost savings with LATIN. Telemedicine avoids unnecessary transfers and hospitalization and it is a cost-effective strategy for population-based AMI programs.
