Thromboembolic Risk of Imaging-Confirmed Coronary Artery Disease Without Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation.

The implication of coronary artery disease (CAD) without the clinical manifestation of myocardial infarction (non-MI-CAD) on thromboembolic events in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) is not well evaluated. We hypothesized that non-MI-CAD would have a similar risk of future thromboembolism as MI-CAD. Clinical data for 17,073 consecutive patients (mean age, 64.
