Optimal medical therapy (OMT) is the cornerstone of treatment for stable coronary disease with the ISCHEMIA trial showing similar outcomes using OMT with or without an initial invasive approach.  Objectives: To describe OMT goal attainment in Polish ISCHEMIA participants compared with other countries.  Patients and methods: Among 5179 trial participants, 333 were randomized in Poland. The median follow-up was 3.2 years. OMT targets were: not smoking, high-intensity statin therapy, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of less than 70 mg/dl, systolic blood pressure of less than 140 mm Hg, aspirin therapy, and ACEI / ARB, and β-blocker therapy if indicated.  Results: Compared with 36 other countries, at randomization, patients in Poland were older (67 [62–75] y vs 65 [58–71] y); P &lt;⁠0.001), more often female (30% vs 22%; P = 0.002), with a longer history of angina (3 [1–9] y vs 1 [0–3] y; P &lt;⁠0.001), and there were more cases of prior myocardial infarction (32% vs 18%; P &lt;⁠0.01) and revascularization (PCI, 40% vs 19%; CABG, 11% vs 3%; P &lt;⁠0.001 for both). The number of OMT goals attained increased from baseline to follow-up visits (5 [4–5] vs 6 [5–6]; P &lt;⁠0.001) in Poland and other countries alike (P = 0.89 vs P = 0.14). In Poland, significant improvements were achieved regarding high-intensity statin therapy (27% vs 50%), LDL-C &lt;⁠70 mg/dl (29% vs 65%), and systolic blood pressure of less than 140 mm Hg (63% vs 81%) (P &lt;⁠0.001 for all), whereas not-smoking (89% vs 89%), aspirin (90% vs 88%), ACEI / ARB (93% vs 95%), and β-blocker therapy (94% vs 90%) remained high.  Conclusions: With regular surveillance and contemporary medical therapy, high OMT goal attainment was achievable among the participants of the ISCHEMIA trial in Poland relative to other countries. There is still room for improvement in LDL-C and blood pressure management.
