Burden of multimorbidity in a Polish cohort of ambulatory and hospitalized heart failure patients from 2 large European registry programs: prognostic implications.

Introduction: Individual comorbidities have been shown to adversely affect prognosis in heart failure (HF). However, our knowledge of multimorbidity in HF and understanding of its prognostic implications still remain incomplete. Objectives: We aimed to analyze the prevalence of multimorbidity in Polish HF patients and to investigate the quantitative and qualitative impact of comorbidity burden on 12-month outcomes in that population.

Myocardial Infarction in Centenarians. Data from The Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes.

Background: There are no data regarding the mortality rate, risks and benefits of particular reperfusion methods and pharmacological treatment complications in patients aged over 100 years with acute coronary syndromes. We sought to assess the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) in patients older than 100 years and to determine prognostic factors for this group.

Methods: Among the 716,566 patients recorded between 2003 and 2018 in the Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes, 104 patients aged ≥100 with MI were included.

Observed and relative survival and 5-year outcomes of patients discharged after acute myocardial infarction: the nationwide AMI-PL database.

Background: Long‑term follow‑up data from a large Polish acute myocardial infarction (AMI‑PL) database are still unavailable.

Aims: This study aimed to assess the 5‑year outcomes of patients discharged after hospitalization for AMI in Poland in relation to age.

Methods: The studywas based on the nationwide AMI‑PL registry including data on the management and long‑term outcomes of all patients admitted to hospitals with AMI (codes I21-I22 according to the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision [ICD ‑10]), derived from the database of the obligatory healthcare payer in Poland.

Gender-related disparities in the treatment and outcomes in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: results from the Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes (PL-ACS) in the years 2012-2014.

Introduction: Gender-related differences in the treatment of patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) have been reported in many previous studies despite the fact that an equal approach is recommended in all current guidelines. The aim of the study was to investigate whether gender-related discrepancies in the management of NSTEMI patients have changed.

Material And Methods: Between 2012 and 2014 a total of 66,667 patients (38.
