Abstract:
ObjectiveNeNewly onset atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which is considered to be related to cardiovascular adverse events. This paper aims to discuss the relationship between atrial fibrillation and long-term cardiovascular adverse events after acute myocardial infarction.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 483 STEMI patients with multivessel disease, who underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from January 2014 to May 2017, was conducted. Patients were divided into two groups: AF group: n=52(10.8%) and non-AF group: n=431(89.2%) according to including criteria. The primary endpoint event was long-term major adverse cardiovascular events, including cardiovascular death, acute heart failure or ischemia stroke. The secondary endpoint event was defined as 30-day cardiovascular death. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and Cox proportional hazards mode were performed to analyze the relationship between newly onset atrial fibrillation and cardiovascular adverse events, such as cardiovascular death. ResultsCompared with non-AF group, AF group had older age, higher levels of C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, creatinine, troponin, SYNTAX score and GRACE score and lower levels of total cholesterol, low density lipoproteins and ejection fraction (P<0.01). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis model, newly onset atrial fibrillation, age, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, admission creatinine level, fasting blood glucose, and coronary SYNTAX score were all independent risk factors associated with higher risks of 30-day cardiovascular death (OR=1.983, 95% CI=1.036-3.795, P=0.04). Using Cox proportional hazards mode, newly onset atrial fibrillation following primary PCI was associated with long-term clinical adverse cardiovascular event (HR=1.983, 95% CI=1.036-3.795, P=0.04) after adjusting all covariates. The area under the ROC curve for combined prediction mode with GRACE score and newly onset AF was comparable to the one for the model with GRACE score alone (0.788 vs 0.767，P=0.08).ConclusionNewly onset atrial fibrillation in STEMI patients with multivessel disease who underwent emergency PCI is associated with 30-day cardiovascular death and long-term clinical adverse cardiovascular events. However, newly onset atrial fibrillation does not increase the predictive value of GRACE score.
