Secondary prevention of stroke in elderly people in Poland-Results of PolSenior study.
CONCLUSIONS: Secondary cardiovascular preventive therapy in Poland is used too rarely in older people after stroke, and it especially concerns anticoagulant therapy in those with a history of atrial fibrillation. Structured educational programmes should be developed in Poland to improve usage of secondary preventive therapy in the elderly. PMID: 24821632 [PubMed - in process]

Dual antiplatelet therapy is safe and efficient after left atrial appendage closure.
CONCLUSIONS: LAAC followed by DAPT seems to be a safe and efficient alternative for stroke prevention in patients with NVAF and contraindications to anticoagulation therapy. This strategy may provide a significant reduction of events such as stroke and bleeding versus the score-predicted rate. PMID: 29350390 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Direct healthcare costs and cost-effectiveness of acute coronary syndromes secondary prevention with ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel - economic evaluation from the public payer's perspective in Poland based on the PLATO trial results.
CONCLUSIONS: In lifelong time horizon, which should be used in case of comparison of technologies with different impact on mortality, cost-effectiveness evaluation resulted in more favourable economic outcomes for ticagrelor than for generic clopidogrel with the cost per QALY well below recommended willingness to pay (WTP) threshold in Poland (24 965 PLN vs. 111 381 PLN).

Dual pathway inhibition for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: Recent advances
Kardiol Pol. 2022;80(12):1200-1210. doi: 10.33963/KP.a2022.0283.ABSTRACTAtherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which includes coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Antiplatelet therapy has long been the mainstay of antithrombotic therapy for the prevention of first-ever and recurrent ASCVD events. More recently, however, randomized trials have demonstrated the benefits and cost-effectiveness of a dual pathway inhibition (DPI) strategy in acute and chronic ASCVD. When used in combinatio...
