Lipid levels, atrial fibrillation and the impact of age: Results from the LIPIDOGRAM2015 study

Association of Atrial Arrhythmias With Thrombospondin-1 in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction

“…Patients with AA in our study needed lesser ACEI/ARBs and β-blockers probably due to limitations of renal and heart functions. We also found lower LDL, which was consistent with a previous study [29], as well as total cholesterol and body weight, in AA patients. Of all the factors that were significantly different between the AA and non-AA groups, only TSP-1, Hs-CRP, and age were found statistically significant by multivariate logistic regression analysis in our predictive model, which suggests a possibly stronger relationship between the incidence of AA and inflammation and age.…”

Lipid-lowering therapy use in primary and secondary care in Central and Eastern Europe: DA VINCI observational study

“…Similarly, longitudinal population data from the Czech Republic showed that statins were the most commonly prescribed regimen, with 79% of patients receiving statins in recent years [28]. Despite the availability of statins, recently published studies focusing on individual countries in CEE have highlighted the significant burden of dyslipidaemia in this region and the need for further action to achieve optimal LDL-C levels in CEE [29][30][31][32][33]. The LIPIDOGRAM studies are the largest population-based surveys assessing the prevalence of dyslipidaemia in Poland, which demonstrated that the number of patients with dyslipidaemia in Poland remains high [29][30][31].…”

CV risk factors have also been shown to be elevated among Polish primary care patients.…”

Secondary Stroke Prevention in Polish Adults: Results from the LIPIDOGRAM2015 Study

“…For each patient recruited for the study we completed a validated questionnaire including demographic data (age, sex, place of residence, and level of education), history and treatment of chronic cardiovascular diseases (CVD) (ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke, hypertension, coronary heart disease (CHD), myocardial infarction (MI), AF, diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidaemia, familial hypercholesterolaemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD)), data on lifestyle (diet, physical activity, smoking status, alcohol intake), and CVD family history [ 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Place of residence (i.e., habitual residence at the time of examination) was classified as rural or urban.…”
