Abstrakt: | Objective: The incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) varies between 7% and 21%, and most of these studies were in the thrombolytic era. However, the frequency of new-onset AF during the primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) period is still unclear. We aimed to investigate the frequency of new-onset AF and its effects on long-term clinical events in patients undergoing primary PCI. Methods: A total of 1,603 patients who were diagnosed with STEMI and underwent primary PCI were included in the study. All the patients were monitored for at least 48 hours after the procedure. The primary endpoint of the study was defined as new-onset AF during hospitalization. Results: The median follow-up period of our study was 44 months. New-onset AF developed in 85 (6.1%) patients. CHADs-VASc > 2, KILLIP > 2, and left atrial diameter were found to be independent predictors for the development of new-onset AF. In the AF (+) group, the all-cause and in-hospital mortality rates were found to be significantly higher. New-onset AF development in patients with STEMI was detected as an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality. Conclusion: In the era of primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, new-onset AF rates were found to be lower than the literature data. In addition, new-onset AF was found to be a predictor of in-hospital mortality, and deaths occurred mostly in the early period. Therefore, close follow-up of these patients in the early period and re-evaluation in terms of AF burden when the patient becomes stable are important. |
