Malignant middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction in people over 85 years old – Diagnosis, management and risk factors
ConclusionThe key risk factor in this group is the atrial fibrillation. The elderly patients require an intensive monitoring of the health condition by reference to brain stroke risk factors, especially atrial fibrillation.

The importance of atrial fibrillation and selected echocardiographic parameters for the effectiveness and safety of thrombolytic therapy in patients with stroke
ConclusionsThe presence of atrial fibrillation worsens the patient's prognosis in terms of the functional status and survival during the acute period of stroke in patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis.Higher NIHSS and CHA2DS2VASc scores and reduced EF in patients with stroke treated with thrombolysis are the predictors of unfavorable short-term prognosis.

Importance rating of risk factors of ischemic stroke in patients over 85 years old in the polish population
Conclusion The course of brain stroke in the Polish population is more severe in patients over 85 years old than in younger ones. The key risk factor in this group is atrial fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation and stroke as initial manifestations of painless type A aortic dissection
In conclusion, apart from imaging the aortic arch by computed tomography in acute stroke patients, the electrocardiogram may be indicative for aortic dissection if it shows signs for myocardial ischemia in previously healthy patients.

Pharmacological stroke prevention in the elderly with atrial fibrillation in Poland – Results of PolSenior study
Conclusions The study was unique to determine the frequency of pharmacological stroke prevention among elderly people with AF in Poland. It occurred that oral anticoagulant drugs were applied too rarely in this group of patients. Educational programs should be developed among general practitioners concerning current recommendations for patients with AF.
