Mechanisms of new-onset atrial fibrillation complicating acute coronary syndrome

Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common arrhythmia complications of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The incidence of new-onset AF is 2.3-37 %, and it is an important predictor of a patient's morbidity, mortality, and prolonged hospitalization. Various risk factors for the development of new-onset AF after ACS have been identified, including: old age, higher Killip class, relevant history (e.g., hypertension), and enlarged left atrium. Insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms of new-onset AF ha… Show more

“…However, multifactorial mechanisms such as atrial ischaemia, atrial pressure overload, inflammation and neurohormonal activation are considered to be involved in the development of AF in patients with ACS. 17 Accordingly, regarding pressure overload and inflammation, patients with AF had lower LVEF and higher levels of proBNP and high-sensitive C reactive protein than patients with SR in the present study. Beta blockers may exert protective effects against AF through their anti-adrenergic and anti-ischaemic effects.…”

“…One study suggested that both new-onset and history of AF shared similar adverse cardiovascular events (Biasco et al, 2018). Older age is among one of the most important predictors for new-onset AF in ACS (Gorenek et al, 2014;Schmitt et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2015). Thus, identifying risk factors of new onset AF is paramount as a first step of such primary prevention.…”

“…Others include prior MI, Killip III/IV, left atrial enlargement, and inflammation (Gorenek et al, 2014;Schmitt et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2015). Recently, Raposeiras Roubín et al (2015) found that CIN may trigger new-onset AF in patients with ACS who underwent PCI.…”
