In our next meta-analysis (the largest in the world) we showed a significant inverse association between daily step count and all-cause mortality and CV mortality with more the better over the cut-off point of 3867 steps/day for all-cause mortality and only 2337 steps for CV mortality. This confirms that we can start even with the […]
Within the group of the recognized Polish experts, based on the data from the PL-ACS Registry, for the first time in the world we confirmed that the upfront combination lipid-lowering therapy is superior to statin monotherapy for all-cause mortality in patients with ACS. These results suggest that in high-risk patients, such an approach, rather than […]
Within LBPMC Group we also evaluated the relationship between electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) use and the risk of stroke when compared to non-smokers. The results were presented at the ESC Congress in Amsterdam and published simultaneously in the Archives of Medical Science. https://www.archivesofmedicalscience.com/Association-between-electronic-nicotine-delivery-systems-use-and-risk-of-stroke-a,171473,0,2.html

Statins are a widely available, cheap, safe, and extremely effective means to reduce the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and it is therefore a tragedy that these life-saving medicines are under-used. Non-adherence to statin therapy reaches up to 60% after 2 years, and cessation is associated with a significant increase in the risk of CVD events. Much of this […]
