Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine the relationship between troponin levels and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with rapid atrial fibrillation (RAF) and chest discomfort thought to be coronary-related.
- A total of 574 patients were followed over several years, revealing that increased troponin levels were independently linked to a higher risk for MACE, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), type I myocardial infarction, and stroke, but not to death or revascularization.
- The findings suggest that higher troponin levels correlate with increased cardiovascular risks, indicating that troponin could be an essential marker for risk assessment in similar patients.
Background: There is little evidence concerning the impact of acute heart failure (AHF) on the prognosis of atrial fibrillation patients attending the emergency department (ED).
Objective: To know the influence of AHF on adverse long-term outcomes in patients presenting with atrial fibrillation in ED.
Design, Setting And Participants: Secondary analysis of a prospective, multicenter, observational cohort of consecutive atrial fibrillation patients, performed in 62 Spanish EDs.
