| Popis: | INTRODUCTION Atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently coexists with other cardiovascular diseases. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of AF in outpatients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and to determine clinical and laboratory parameters associated with the higher prevalence of this arrhythmia. In addition, we compared the indications for antithrombotic treatment using the older CHADS₂ and the currently used CHA₂DS₂-VASc scores. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied the clinical data of 2578 Polish patients with stable CAD participating in the multicenter RECENT study (age, 65 ±10 years; men, 55%; Canadian Cardiovascular Society class I/II/III+IV, 38%/48%/14%).
