Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Pragmatic Clinical TrialVideo-Only Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Education for High-Risk Families Before Hospital Discharge: A Multicenter Pragmatic Trial.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training rates in the United States are low, highlighting the need to develop CPR educational approaches that are simpler, with broader dissemination potential. The minimum training required to ensure long-term skill retention remains poorly characterized. We compared CPR skill retention among laypersons randomized to training with video-only (VO; no manikin) with those trained with a video self-instruction kit (VSI; with manikin). We hypothesized that VO training would be noninferior to the VSI approach with respect to chest compression (CC) rate. ⋯ URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01514656.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyRandomized Comparison of High-Sensitivity Troponin Reporting in Undifferentiated Chest Pain Assessment.
High-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) assays promise greater discrimination of evolving myocardial infarction, but the impact of unguided implementation on the effectiveness of care is uncertain. ⋯ URL: http://www.ANZCTR.org.au. Unique identifier: ACTRN12611000879965.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Pragmatic Clinical TrialIndividualized Risk Communication and Outreach for Primary Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Community Health Centers: Randomized Trial.
Many eligible primary cardiovascular disease prevention candidates are not treated with statins. Electronic health record data can identify patients with increased cardiovascular disease risk. ⋯ URL: http://www.clincialtrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01610609.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyEarly Medication Nonadherence After Acute Myocardial Infarction: Insights into Actionable Opportunities From the TReatment with ADP receptor iNhibitorS: Longitudinal Assessment of Treatment Patterns and Events after Acute Coronary Syndrome (TRANSLATE-ACS) Study.
Nonadherence to prescribed evidence-based medications after acute myocardial infarction (MI) can contribute to worse outcomes and higher costs. We sought to better understand the modifiable factors contributing to early nonadherence of evidence-based medications after acute MI. ⋯ URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
