To address the health and health care implications of a progressively aging society in the 21st century the best and most creative scientific minds must be engaged. This is nowhere more compelling than in cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of health care expenditures and death in the elderly. And given the multiple co-morbidities that are the norm in elderly patients, clinical and research efforts must often cross disciplinary (and NIH) lines in collaborative research and practice. To bridge between the competencies of geriatricians and medical subspecialists has been the objective of an initiative sponsored by the John A. Hartford Foundation entitled, "Integrating Geriatrics into the Medical Subspecialties" (W. Hazzard, PI), focused in 5-day Geriatric Education Retreats (GER's) in which the attendees, academic geriatricians and leaders from a given subspecialty, address issues of education, clinical care, and research at the interface between their domains, generating an agenda of proposed follow-up activities. The present proposal represents a leading item on the agenda developed at the Cardiology GER in August 1996. This will be a conference for which partial funding is requested from the NIA, a conclave entitled, "Existing Databases: Do They Hold Answers to Clinical Questions in Geriatric Cardiology?. This scientific conference will take place April 8-11, 1999 at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, DC. In attendance will be leading cardiovascular clinical investigators and academic geriatricians from across the USA. These scientists will review existing databases with focus upon eight problem areas: 1) Acute myocardial infarction (Outcomes); 2) Acute myocardial infarction (Treatment - CABG, PTCA, Thrombolysis); 3) Chronic coronary disease; 4) Valve surgery; 5) Pacemakers, EP and ablation devices; 6) Cerebrovascular disease (Carotid endarterectomy, thrombolysis); 7) Congestive heart failure; and 8) Prevention through risk factor modification. Participants will review and discuss these data bases and generate reports on-site in consensus conference format, emphasizing as points of present consensus, opportunities for future research from these existing data bases, and areas requiring further data gathering and analysis. The report will be summarized in leading subspecialty journals and distributed widely throughout the scientific community as a means of further stimulating research in diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease in the elderly.

逐步解决健康和医疗保健的影响 21世纪老龄化社会最好、最具创造力的科学 头脑必须投入其中。这是最令人信服的地方了 心血管疾病，医疗保健支出的主要原因 以及老年人的死亡。考虑到多种并存疾病， 是老年患者的常态，临床和研究工作必须 合作研究中的跨学科(和NIH)界限 练习一下。在老年医生和老年医生的能力之间架起桥梁 医学专家小组一直是发起的一项倡议的目标 由约翰·A·哈特福德基金会撰写，题为《整合老年医学》 走进医学子专业“(W.Hazzard，PI)，集中在5天内 老年教育务虚会(GER)，与会者，学者， 来自特定专科的老年病医生和领导者，解决以下问题 在教育、临床护理和研究之间的接口 制定拟议后续活动的议程。这个 本提案是在以下地点制定的议程上的主要项目 1996年8月的心脏病GER。这将是一次 向NIA申请部分资金，这是一个名为 “现有的数据库：他们持有临床问题的答案吗？ 老年心脏病学？这次科学会议将于4月4日举行。 1999年8月至11日，华盛顿文艺复兴酒店。出席人数 将成为领先的心血管临床研究人员和学者 来自美国各地的老年病医生。这些科学家将回顾 现有数据库侧重于八个问题领域：1)严重 心肌梗死(结果)；2)急性心肌梗死 (治疗-CABG、PTCA、溶栓)；3)慢性冠状动脉疾病；4) 瓣膜手术；5)起搏器、EP和消融装置；6) 脑血管疾病(颈动脉内膜剥脱术、溶栓)；7) 充血性心力衰竭；8)通过危险因素预防 修改。与会者将回顾和讨论这些数据库，并 以协商一致的会议格式在现场生成报告，强调 根据目前的共识，未来研究的机会来自 这些现有数据库以及需要进一步收集数据的领域 和分析。报告将在主导子专业中进行总结 杂志，并在科学界广泛分发，如 一种进一步促进诊断和管理研究的手段 老年人的心血管疾病。
