New Onset Atrial Fibrillation in Hospitalized Patients
This study finds that four factors i.e., female gender, presence of infection, use of vasopressors, and a history of CVA all precipitate new onset atrial fibrillation with resultant increase in mortality during the same admission. Study concludes that longer hospital stay of more than three days increases the likelihood of developing new onset atrial fibrillation without increasing the mortality. Study found that patients who were positive forCOVID-19 were more likely to have sepsis.
