Article Synopsis
- New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) commonly occurs in patients who have experienced an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and is linked to higher cardiovascular death rates.
- A study reviewed 10 research articles involving 708 NOAF patients and 6785 controls, finding that lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and greater left atrium diameter (LAD) significantly correlated with the occurrence of NOAF after an AMI.
- The analysis revealed a mean LVEF decrease of -4.91 units and an LAD increase of 2.55 units among patients with NOAF, highlighting the need to monitor these metrics following AMI to assess risk.
