The Association of Atrial Fibrillation Before Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With 1-Year Outcome in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to determine the association of atrial fibrillation (AF) with 1-year outcome in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods

Patients (n = 8830) enrolled in the Trial of Routine Aspiration Thrombectomy with PCI vs PCI Alone in Patients With STEMI (TOTAL) were followed for 1 year. The primary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular death, recurrent myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, or new or worsening class IV heart failure. The presence or absence of AF was determined from a single pre-PCI electrocardiogram.

Results

Patients with AF (n = 437; 4.9%) were older, and more often had a history of stroke, hypertension, or myocardial infarctio
