Prediction of New Onset Atrial Fibrillation in Acute Coronary Syndrome : Using C2HEST Score

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common complication of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and is associated with poorer clinical outcomes. This study aims to assess the clinical profile of ACS patients with AF and to evaluate the predictive value of the C₂HEST score. A total of 61 patients with ACS and AF were analyzed for demographics, comorbidities, and risk scores. Most patients had ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (55.7%), with hypertension and diabetes as prevalent comorbidities. High C₂HEST scores were linked to an increased risk of complications.
