“…Lau et al 2 recently published the results of a multicenter registry of Ͼ3000 patients, which showed that new-onset AF was an independent predictor of hospital death, not follow-up death, unlike previous FA, which was an independent predictor of long-term mortality, but not in-hospital death. These results are consistent with those reported by Mehta et al 3 with the results of the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events. According to these authors, only newonset AF is an independent predictor of in-hospital adverse events.…”

“…Similar mechanisms have also been proposed to explain AF onset in the context of acute coronary syndromes, an occurrence also associated with adverse prognostic significance. 18,19 The present hypothesis has recently found support in the observation that ST-T segment abnormalities during exercise stress testing in HCM patients predict subsequent occurrence of AF, 20 suggesting that inducible ischemia does play a role in this regard. Other potential mechanisms may include more diffuse and substantial collagen metabolism abnormalities favoring atrial fibrosis and arrhythmogeneicity, and recurrent mitral regurgitation, caused by regional ischemic LV dysfunction, ultimately reflecting upon left atrium structure and function.…”

“…There are persuasive data indicating that AF increases the risk of MACCE after an AMI, and ischemic stroke is one of the major complications of AF [18,19,20,21]. However, there are few reports about how the combination of CKD and AF affects the risk of MACCE in AMI patients.…”
