Why the study?
Heart failure is associated with high mortality and atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in reduced ejection fraction patients, but whether new-onset AF is an independent poor prognostic factor remained to be assessed.
Does new-onset atrial fibrillation predict in-hospital mortality in patients with reduced ejection fraction heart failure?
Observational
Does new-onset atrial fibrillation predict in-hospital mortality in patients with reduced ejection fraction heart failure?
New-onset AF independently predicted in-hospital mortality in decompensated HFrEF; observational data leave open whether it warrants targeted intervention.
Objectives: Heart failure (HF) is associated with high mortality and atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in HF patients with reduced ejection fraction (EF). We aimed to assess whether new-onset AF is an independent poor prognostic factor in this group of patients. We also searched for parameters that might influence the in-hospital mortality in reduced EF heart failure (HFrEF) patients.
