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.

Improvement of survival in Polish stroke patients is related to reduced stroke severity and better control of risk factors: the Krakow Stroke Database.
CONCLUSIONS: Reduced stroke severity is associated with better recognition and control of risk factors and explains the improvement of survival in Polish stroke patients. PMID: 27279847 [PubMed]

Polish and European management strategies in patients with atrial fibrillation. Data from the EURObservational Research Programme-Atrial Fibrillation General Registry Pilot Phase (EORP-AF Pilot).
CONCLUSIONS    A rhythm control-oriented strategy in patients with AF with the use of ablation in cardiology wards is more frequent in Poland than in other EU countries. Similar to other EU countries, compliance with the ESC guidelines regarding anticoagulation in AF patients is suboptimal in Poland. Undertreatment was observed in a significant proportion of patients at high risk of stroke, while a large group of low-risk patients are overtreated. Differences between the types of recruiting centers in Poland and other EU countries might have influenced the results. PMID: 27000745 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke prevention in AF patients in Poland and other European countries: insights from the GARFIELD-AF registry.
CONCLUSIONS: The GARFIELD-AF Registry data shows how distant every day clinical practice is from the guidelines. It shows that still in Poland, as well as in the rest of Europe, too many patients with low stroke risk are treated with anticoagulants, while too frequently patients at the high stroke risk are left with no stroke prevention. Although the tendency to use non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants grows comparably in Poland and in the rest of Europe, the proportion of patients with intermediate and high stroke risk does not grow and more patients at low stroke risk are treated with anticoagulants.

Management of patients with valvular and non-valvular atrial fibrillation in Poland: Results from Reference Cardiology University Centre.
CONCLUSIONS: Our population with AF have similar risk of stroke and bleeding as in European registries. The need for anticoagulation in AF patients is well established in daily medical care in Poland similarly to Western Europe. Patients with valvular AF are more frequently prescribed antithrombotic therapy than patients with non-valvular AF. In-hospital mortality is relatively low in both valvular and non-valvular AF patients and connected with old age and diminished EF. PMID: 25428729 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinical characteristics of patients with myocardial infarction treated in the regional hospital of Radomszczanski District in 2007-2009.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the increase of the hospitalised STEMI/NSTEMI ratio, the incidence of risk factors did not change in the population of Radomszczanski District over the analysed period. PMID: 25347198 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

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 - indexed for MEDLINE]

Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation (RHYTHM-AF) International Registry in Poland.
CONCLUSIONS: Conversion to sinus rhythm was attempted in < 60% of the patients with AF admitted to the hospital with an intention to terminate arrhythmia. Electrical cardioversion was successful in ~90% of the patients, while pharmacological cardioversion in ~75% of the patients (amiodarone and propafenone were most commonly used). The rate of complications was low (2.8%). PMID: 24526513 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients in clinical practice of district hospital in Poland.
CONCLUSIONS: (1). Despite of high stroke risk determined by both scales only 39% of patients received OAC. (2). In the analyzed material the independent predictive factor in this group for prescribing OAC at discharge was arterial hypertension (in accordance with recommendations) and: the younger patients age, no history of stroke/TIA and other than paroxysmal type of AF. (3). Practice of the usage of OAC and/or antiplatelet therapy in AF patients discharged from Polish district hospital was in concordance with current guidelines of ESC neither in 2006 nor 2010.

Early and long term coronary artery bypass grafting outcomes in patients under 45 years of age.
CONCLUSIONS: Young women who underwent CABG were burdened with higher early postoperative morbidity and mortality than young men. However, long-term outcomes (mortality, recurrent angina, and repeated myocardial revascularisation rates) did not differ significantly between the two groups. Regardless of gender, repeated myocardial revascularisation rate was significantly higher among those patients who continued to smoke after the surgery (p < 0.01).
