Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is frequently accompanied by newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF).
Aims: We aimed to compare the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in ACS patients presenting with known, newly diagnosed, or no AF.
Methods: In our multicentre, prospective registry study, we included patients with confirmed ACS.
Objective: Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remain at high risk for recurrent ischaemic and bleeding events during follow-up. Our study aimed to quantify and compare the impact of these adverse events on quality of life (QoL).
Methods: Data from patients with ACS prospectively enrolled in the FORCE-ACS registry between January 2015 and December 2019 were used for this study.
Objectives: To validate the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score and examine the extent and impact of the risk-treatment paradox in contemporary patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Methods: Data from 5015 patients with ACS enrolled in the FORCE-ACS registry between January 2015 and December 2019 were used for model validation. The performance of the GRACE risk score for predicting in-hospital and 1-year mortality was evaluated based on indices of model discrimination and calibration.
