Behind the Scenes with Laura Graham ’95

By Laura Barlament

Laura Graham '95 remembers well the first time she conducted a briefing for the president of the United States in the Oval Office.

It was in 2000, Bill Clinton's final year in office. Graham was serving as deputy director of White House scheduling. At age 27, she was one of the youngest people ever to hold a deputy assistant position in the White House, reporting directly to one of the president's senior staff members.

Usually these 10-minute, rapid-fire briefings would be given by Graham's boss, Stephanie Streett, a veteran White House staffer who had taken Graham under her wing. “Sometimes these were tense meetings, because the president was always very busy and always running behind,” Graham recalls.

Abstract

Background

Echocardiography is not recommended for routine pre-surgical evaluation but may have value for patients at high risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). The objective of this study was to evaluate whether pre-operative echocardiography is associated with lower risk of post-operative MACE among patients with coronary artery disease.

Methods

Using administrative and registry data, we examined associations of echocardiography within 3 months prior to surgery with postoperative MACE (myocardial infarction, revascularization, or death within 30 days) among patients with coronary artery disease undergoing elective, non-cardiac surgeries in the United States Veterans Affairs healthcare system in 2000–2012.

Results

Echocardiography preceded 4,378 (16.4 %) of 26,641 surgeries. MACE occurred within 30 days following 944 (3.5 %) surgeries. A 10 % higher case-mix adjusted rate of pre-operative echocardiography assessed at the hospital level was associated with a hospital-level risk of MACE that was 1.0 % (95 % confidence interval [CI] 0.1 %, 2.0 %) higher
