Acute Myocardial Infarction, New Onset Atrial Fibrillation
Conditions
Keywords
myocardial infarction, new-onset atrial fibrillation, atrial fibrillation burden, mortality
Brief summary
To investigate the prognostic impacts of the atrial fibrillation burden (AFb) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients who developed paroxysmal new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) during the index AMI hospitalization.
Detailed description
In the present study, investigators retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all acute MI patients who were admitted to the coronary artery unit (CCU) of Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, KaiFeng Central Hospital, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between January 2014 and January 2022. All patients will routinely receive continuous electronic monitoring (CEM) throughout their hospital stay to detect cardiac arrhythmias including the AF events. Of these, patients with AMI without a history of AF who developed a first documented AF episode will be considered for inclusion. The AFb is measured as a percentage (%) by dividing the total AF duration by the total CEM duration.
Interventions
All patients with MI hospitalized in the CCU department of Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, KaiFeng Central Hospital, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University will receive 24-hour continuous cardiac monitoring until discharge.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| All-cause death | From the time of AMI discharge until occurrence of an outcome of interest, death, or loss to follow up, maximum up to 10 years | Death from any cause |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Major bleeding | From the time of AMI discharge until occurrence of an outcome of interest, death, or loss to follow up, maximum up to 10 years | Bleeding event with a Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) classification of types 3 or 5. |
| Cardiovascular death | From the time of AMI discharge until occurrence of an outcome of interest, death, or loss to follow up, maximum up to 10 years | Death from cardiovascular causes |
| Recurrent myocardial infarction | From the time of AMI discharge until occurrence of an outcome of interest, death, or loss to follow up, maximum up to 10 years | Rehospitalization for myocardial infarction |
| Heart failure hospitalization | From the time of AMI discharge until occurrence of an outcome of interest, death, or loss to follow up, maximum up to 10 years | HF hospitalization was based on clinical symptoms such as dyspnea and fatigue, and signs of peripheral or pulmonary edema that required hospitalization for intravenous diuretic treatment |
| Ischemic stroke | From the time of AMI discharge until occurrence of an outcome of interest, death, or loss to follow up, maximum up to 10 years | Ischemic stroke was identified as the presence of a new focal neurologic deficit thought to be ischemic in origin, with signs or symptoms lasting\> 24 hours, and was validated according to radiographic imaging test. |
