New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation During ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Risk of Recurrence and Its Clinical Impact During 10 Years of Follow-Up.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atrial fibrillation (AF) often complicates ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but data on AF recurrence after first-ever AF during STEMI are scarce. We aimed at assessing the risk of AF recurrence after first-ever transient AF during admission for STEMI.

Methods

We performed a single-center, register-based cohort study. Patients with STEMI discharged alive after primary percutaneous coronary intervention during 2007 to 2010 were followed until 2018. Clinical characteristics, date of AF diagnosis, and mortality status were retrieved from Swedish national registries. All ECGs recorded before, during, or after STEMI were reviewed. The primary end point was the first documented AF episode after discharge, and the secondary end point was mortality. The
