Association between cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular drug therapy, and in-hospital outcomes in patients with COVID-19: data from a large single-center registry in Poland
CONCLUSION: Among cardiovascular risk factors and diseases, HF and DM appeared to increase in-hospital COVID-19 mortality, whereas the use of cardiovascular drugs was associated with lower mortality.PMID:33926173 | DOI:10.33963/KP.15990

Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion in the current practice
Kardiol Pol. 2021 Mar 5. doi: 10.33963/KP.15864. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOral anticoagulation (OAC) is the standard of care for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) but is associated with a substantial risk of bleeding complications and is dependent on optimal patient´s compliance. In patients with non-valvular AF, the left atrial appendage is the source of thrombi that may cause stroke in up to 91-95% of cases. Thus, percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is increasingly being performed as an alternative to OAC for stroke prophylaxis in patients at increased bleeding risk. Current evidence sup...

Catheter ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus in patients with atrial flutter: predictors of long-term outcomes.
CONCLUSION: Ablation of CTI with minimal number of electrodes is safe and effective. There are specific predictors of events during long-term outcome. PMID: 32500993 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Sex-related differences among ischaemic stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis in Poland.
CONCLUSIONS: Of the ischaemic stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis, women had worse long-term outcomes than men. This discrepancy may be explained by the older age and higher proportion of cardio-embolic strokes with more severe baseline deficits. However, multiple logistic analysis did not show that sex itself had an impact on the greater mortality in women after a stroke, or on the poorer prognosis.

Long-term echocardiographic evaluation of asymptomatic patients undergoing minimally invasive valve repair for severe primary mitral regurgitation.
CONCLUSIONS: Minimally invasive mitral valve repair is a safe and efficient method of correction in asymptomatic patients. The intervention should be performed regardless of ventricular and atrial dimensions. PMID: 32267134 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Temporal trends in availability and efficacy of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter in a highly populated urban area.
CONCLUSIONS: Over the 12-year follow-up a considerable increase in the availability and efficacy of AF / AFl ablations was documented. PMID: 32242404 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Risk factors modification for primary and secondary prevention of atrial fibrillation - Part II.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with increased risk of death, stroke and heart failure. The prevalence and incidence of AF is increasing due to better overall medical treatment, longer survival and increasing incidence of cardiometabolic and lifestyle risk factors. Treatment of AF and AF-related complications significantly increase health-care costs. In addition, use of conventional rhythm control strategies (i.g. antiarrhyhtmic drugs and catheter-ablation) is associated with limited efficacy for sinus rhythm maintenance and serious adverse effects. Aggress...

CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores predict long-term mortality in patients with typical atrial flutter after catheter ablation.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients referred for typical AFL ablation, the CHADS2 score can be applied for prognosis assessment. A successful AFL ablation procedure should not divert the attention from recognizing and addressing other medical issues that have an impact on long-term mortality, which remains very high in this particular population.
