Is new onset atrial fibrillation associated with increased 90-day mortality in patients undergoing primary PCI?
Patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (from the APEX-AMI trial)

New onset atrial fibrillation following primary PCI is an independent predictor of 90-day mortality and adverse outcomes.
Atrial fibrillation prevalence at baseline and at discharge was 4.8 and 2.5%, respectively. The proportion of patients who developed new onset AF was 6.3%. New onset AF was independently associated with 90 day mortality and was a marker of adverse outcomes in patients undergoing primary PCI.
