What are the independent predictors of long-term atrial fibrillation following percutaneous coronary intervention in acute coronary syndrome?
BMI, LVEF, mitral annular late diastolic velocity, and mitral annular calcification are independent predictors of long-term atrial fibrillation after PCI in ACS patients.
= 24.620, log-rank p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression identified body mass index (BMI) (HR: 1.070; 95% CI: 1.010-1.130; p = 0.022), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (HR: 0.942; 95% CI: 0.918-0.916; p < 0.001), mitral annular late diastolic velocity (Am) (HR: 0.785; 95% CI: 0.707-0.872; p < 0.001), and mitral annular calcification (MAC) (HR: 4.066; 95% CI: 1.976-8.368; p < 0.001) as independent predictors. These findings provide important insights into the long-term risk of AF after PCI in ACS patients and may support early identification and management of high-risk individuals.
