Why the study?
Is new-onset atrial fibrillation associated with worse prognosis and future heart failure in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Is new-onset atrial fibrillation associated with worse prognosis and future heart failure in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
New-onset atrial fibrillation in acute coronary syndrome patients is associated with future heart failure and worse prognosis, though not independently predictive of all-cause death.
New-onset AF in ACS may warrant closer HF monitoring; this Level 5 finding leaves open independent prognostic effects.
In our study, AF was not an independent predictor of all-cause death, but new-onset AF may be associated with worse prognosis and future heart failure.
