Outcomes of newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation in patients with acute coronary syndromes
Newly diagnosed AF in ACS patients was associated with higher rates of MACE and ischaemic stroke compared to ACS patients without or with known AF. Among the ACS patients with new AF, an episode lasting >24 hours was associated with worse outcomes than shorter episodes, while post-CABG occurrence of AF showed relatively better outcomes compared to spontaneously occurring AF. Only 53% of new AF patients were discharged on OAC therapy versus 89% with known AF.
