TCT-150 Risk Factors for New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention among patients with Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction

While there have been studies exploring the predictors of new onset AF after AMI, there is limited data in a contemporary population of patients following non ST elevation myocardial infarction acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Conclusion In this preliminary analysis of a contemporary cohort of pa...

Description
Summary:	While there have been studies exploring the predictors of new onset AF after AMI, there is limited data in a contemporary population of patients following non ST elevation myocardial infarction acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Conclusion In this preliminary analysis of a contemporary cohort of patients presenting with NSTE-ACS, advancing age is associated with higher odds for developing new onset AF within 30-days after PCI. Since development of AF is associated with higher risk for stroke, rehospitalization and mortality, our findings have implications for monitoring and treatment of older patients with NSTE-ACS.
