Zhang LX, Cao JY, Zhou XJ. Construction and validation of a nomogram prediction model for the risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation following percutaneous coronary intervention in acute myocardial infarction patients. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2024; 24:642. [PMID: 39538121 PMCID: PMC11562501 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-024-04326-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 11/07/2024] [Indexed: 11/16/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), aiming to develop a predictive nomogram for NOAF risk. METHODS A retrospective cohort study involving 397 AMI patients who underwent PCI at a tertiary hospital in Anhui, China, from January 2021 to July 2022 was performed. Patients were divided into NOAF (n = 63) and non-NOAF (n = 334) groups based on post-PCI outcomes. Clinical data were extracted from the hospital information system (HIS) and analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression to identify independent risk factors. A nomogram was generated utilizing R software (version 3.6.1), with its performance evaluated through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, decision curve analysis (DCA), and Bootstrap resampling. RESULTS Independent risk factors for NOAF included age, left atrial diameter (LAD), Gensini score, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), alanine transaminase (ALT), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), and ventricular rate (P < 0.05). The nomogram's ROC curve demonstrated an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.925 (95% CI: 0.887-0.963), supported by a Bootstrap-verified AUC of 0.924 (95% CI: 0.883-0.954), reflecting strong discriminative capability. The calibration curve indicated a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.031 and 0.017 prior to and following Bootstrap verification, respectively, signifying robust calibration. The DCA curve illustrated that the nomogram offered optimal clinical net benefit for patients with a threshold probability of NOAF ranging from 0.01 to 0.99. CONCLUSION The nomogram developed from independent risk factors for NOAF exhibits significant predictive accuracy and clinical relevance for evaluating the risk of NOAF in AMI patients following PCI, thereby enabling the identification of high-risk individuals for targeted interventions.

Abstract
This article aims to analyze the relationship between non-obstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD) and atrial fibrillation (AF), exploring the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and implications for clinical management. NOCAD and AF are prevalent cardiovascular conditions that often coexist, yet their interrelation is not well understood. NOCAD can lead to ischemic necrosis of cardiomyocytes and their replacement with fibrous tissue, sustaining focal ectopic activity in atrial myocardium. Atrial fibrillation, on the other hand, the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, is able to accelerate atherosclerosis and increase oxygen consumption in the myocardium, creating a mismatch between supply and demand, and thus promoting the development or worsening of coronary ischemia. Therefore, NOCAD and AF seem to be a complex interplay with one begets another.

Not Baseline Atrial Fibrillation but New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation and the Loss of Left Atrial Function Are Essential for Predicting Poor Outcomes in Non-ischemic Cardiomyopathy. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 8:781125. [PMID: 34970609 PMCID: PMC8712486 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.781125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims: The clinical impact of the type of atrial fibrillation (AF) has not been completely elucidated in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM). Although the structure and function of the left atrium (LA) provide prognostic information in patients with heart failure, the relationship of the AF type with LA structure and function in NICM is unclear. Methods: Consecutive patients with NICM who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance were evaluated and followed. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) related to the AF type, such as paroxysmal AF, chronic AF, and new-onset AF (NOAF). Results: Among 625 patients with NICM (mean age, 64.4 ± 14.2 years; women, 39.7%), 133 had a history of AF at baseline; of these, 60 had paroxysmal AF. Each baseline AF type was associated with higher LA volume and lower LA emptying fraction but not with an increased incidence of MACE (p = 0.245). New-onset AF developed in 5.9% of patients with sinus rhythm over a median follow-up period of 609 days, and maximum LA volume was a strong and independent predictor [p < 0.001, area under the ROC curve (AUC): 0.795]. Maximum LA volume was superior to LA emptying fraction and B-type natriuretic peptide (AUC: 0.683 and 0.680, respectively). The use of β-blocker and the age of the patient were associated with the incidence of NOAF (HR: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.16-0.84 and HR: 1.05, 95% CI: 1.01-1.09, respectively). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with NOAF had a higher incidence of MACE than those with sinus rhythm or baseline AF (p = 0.002). NOAF and LA emptying fraction were independent predictors of MACE (HR: 2.28, 95% CI: 1.20-3.97 and HR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.96-0.99, respectively) after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, and diagnosis. Conclusions: Paroxysmal and chronic AF in patients with NICM were not associated with an increased incidence of MACE despite their association with LA volume and function. NOAF was independently associated with poor prognosis. Higher maximum LA volume predicted the onset and lower LA emptying fraction was independently associated with poor prognosis.

De novo and pre-existing atrial fibrillation in acute coronary syndromes: impact on prognosis and cardiovascular events in long-term follow-up. EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. ACUTE CARDIOVASCULAR CARE 2021; 10:1129-1139. [PMID: 34718473 DOI: 10.1093/ehjacc/zuab091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2021] [Revised: 09/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
AIMS The aim of the study was to compare in-hospital and long-term prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and de novo vs. pre-existing atrial fibrillation (AF). Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of serious adverse events including death in patients with ACS. However, it is unclear whether de novo and pre-existing AF portend a different risk. METHODS AND RESULTS We analysed the incidence, clinical characteristics, and in-hospital and long-term outcomes in patients with AF and ACS based on combined data from Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndrome (PL-ACS) (n = 581 843) and SILICARD (n = 852 063) databases. Atrial fibrillation at admission was diagnosed in of 6.16% patients [de novo: 1129 (2.46%); pre-existing: 1691 (3.7%)]. Groups were compared (N = 1023 vs. 1023) after matching for relevant clinical factors. De novo and pre-existing AF differed in in-hospital diuretic (52% vs. 58%; P = 0.008) and aldosterone inhibitor (27.5% vs. 32.5%; P = 0.02) use, Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow before percutaneous coronary intervention (P = 0.016), and diuretic (52.1% vs. 58%; P = 0.008) and oral anticoagulant (27.5% vs. 32.5%; P = 0.018) use at discharge. In-hospital mortality in the de novo AF group was significantly higher (13.1% vs. 8.31%; P = 0.0005). Post-discharge 12-month survival was similar between groups (14.5% vs. 15.3%, P = 0.63). Long-term re-hospitalization due to heart failure (22.7% vs. 17.2%; P < 0.005) and medical contact due to AF (48.4% vs. 26.1%, P < 0.0001) rates were higher in the group with pre-existing AF, without the difference of stroke or myocardial infarction occurrence. CONCLUSION De novo AF accounts for 40% of all AF cases in ACS patients and is an unfavourable in-hospital prognostic factor. The occurrence of de novo AF during ACS should require special attention and caution in the treatment of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been identified as a major risk factor for mortality after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the long-term risk of ischemic stroke associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) in ACS remains controversial, and its gender-specific association is unknown. METHODS We analyzed the data of 10,137 ACS survivors included in a multicenter, prospective registry for Korean patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) between January 2004 and August 2014. Subjects were categorized into three groups (non-AF vs. NOAF vs. previous AF) based on medical history and electrocardiographic evidence of AF, either at admission or during hospitalization. RESULTS Among the total study population (72.3% men), 370 patients (3.6%) had NOAF and 130 (1.3%) had previous AF. During a median follow-up of 61 months (interquartile range, 38.8 to 89.3 months), 245 (2.4%) patients (218 (2.3%) non-AF vs. 15 (4.1%) NOAF vs. 12 (9.2%) previous AF, p < 0.001) experienced ischemic stroke. After adjustment for confounding variables, both NOAF (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.87, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.09-3.24, p = 0.024) and previous AF (adjusted HR 4.00, 95% CI 2.03-7.87, p < 0.001), along with older age, diabetes, current smoker, and previous stroke were independent risk factors of ischemic stroke. In the gender-stratified analysis, men with previous AF but not NOAF had a significantly higher risk of ischemic stroke (adjusted HR 4.14, 95% CI 1.79-9.55, p = 0.001) than those without AF. In women, NOAF (adjusted HR 2.54, 95% CI 1.21-5.35, p = 0.014) as well as previous AF (adjusted HR 3.72, 95% CI 1.16-11.96, p = 0.028) was a strong predictor of ischemic stroke, and the predictive value was comparable to that of previous AF among patients with a CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥ 2. CONCLUSIONS Both NOAF and previous AF were associated with ischemic stroke after AMI, but the impact of NOAF as a risk factor of ischemic stroke was significant only in women.

Low serum albumin levels and in-hospital outcomes in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2021; 31:2904-2911. [PMID: 34344545 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2021.06.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2020] [Revised: 04/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Low serum albumin (SA) is associated with an increased risk of long-term adverse events (AEs) among patients with chronic coronary syndromes. Its prognostic role in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is less clear. To investigate the association between low SA and in-hospital AEs in STEMI patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Multicenter retrospective cohort study of 220 STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention within 12 h from the onset of symptoms. Hypoalbuminemia was defined by serum SA <35 g/L. SA. In-hospital AEs were defined as cardiogenic shock, resuscitated cardiac arrest and death. Median SA was 38 (IQR 35.4-41.0) g/L and 37 (16.8%) patients showed hypoalbuminemia (<35 g/L) on admission. Patients with hypoalbuminemia were older, more frequently women and diabetics, prior CAD and HF. Furthermore, they showed lower hemoglobin levels and impaired renal function. At multivariable logistic regression analysis, diabetes (odds ratio [OR]:4.59, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.71-12.28, p = 0.002) and haemoglobin (OR:0.52, 95%CI 0.37-0.72, p < 0.001) were associated with low SA. In a subgroup of 132 patients, SA inversely correlated with D-Dimer (rS -0.308, p < 0.001). Globally, twenty-eight (14.6%) AEs were recorded. Hypoalbuminemia (OR:3.43, 95%CI 1.30-9.07, p = 0.013), high-sensitive (HS)-Troponin peak above median (OR:5.41, 95%CI 1.99-14.7, p = 0.001), C-reactive protein (CRP) peak above median (OR:6.03, 95%CI 2.02-18.00, p = 0.001), and in-hospital infection (OR:3.61, 95%CI 1.21-10.80, p = 0.022) were associated with AEs. CONCLUSION Low SA levels are associated with worse in-hospital AEs in STEMI patients, irrespective of HS-troponin and CRP plasma levels. Our findings suggest that low SA may contribute to the pro-thrombotic phenotype of these patients.

Acute atrial ischemia associates with early but not late new-onset atrial fibrillation in STEMI patients treated with primary PCI: relationship with in-hospital outcomes. J Cardiol 2021; 78:368-374.

Abstract
BACKGROUND New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF), both early (EAF) or late (LAF), may complicate ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The mechanisms underlying EAF or LAF are poorly described. We investigated atrial branch occlusion and EAF or LAF onset in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study including 155 STEMI patients. Patients were divided into 3 groups: sinus rhythm (SR), EAF, or LAF. Clinical characteristics, angiographic features including occlusion of atrial branches, namely ramus ostia cavae superioris (ROCS), atrio-ventricular node artery (AVNA), right intermediate atrial artery (RIAA), and left intermediate atrial artery, were assessed. We also investigated in-hospital adverse events (AEs) and death. RESULTS Mean age was 63.8±11.9 years; 78.7% were men. NOAF was detected in 22 (14.2%) patients: 10 (6.4%) EAF and 12 LAF (7.7%). Compared to EAF, LAF patients were older (p=0.013), with higher GRACE risk score (p=0.014) and Killip class (p=0.015), depressed ejection fraction (p=0.007), elevated filling pressures (p=0.029), higher C-reactive protein (p=0.014) and more with thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow <3 (p=0.015). Compared to SR, EAF was associated with higher prevalence of occluded ROCS (p=0.010), AVNA (p=0.005), and RIAA (p<0.001). Moreover, EAF patients had more frequently ≥2 diseased atrial branches than SR (19.5%, p<0.001) and LAF (25%, p<0.030) patients. LAF patients had a higher in-hospital AEs (p=0.019 vs SR; p=0.029 vs EAF) and death (p=0.004 vs SR). CONCLUSIONS The occlusion of atrial branches is associated with EAF but not LAF following STEMI. LAF patients had worse in-hospital AEs and mortality.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Although previous studies have investigated mortality rates and the incidences of adverse events associated with new-onset AF (NOAF) in patients with AMI, the effects of emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on the incidence of NOAF in patients with AMI remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of clinical characteristics, medical history, and the coronary flow disturbance phenomenon (TIMI < 3) following emergency PCI with NOAF in patients with AMI. Between 2012 and 2016, 731 patients with AMI underwent PCI at our facility. Among these, 52 had a history of chronic/paroxysmal AF before admission and were excluded. The remaining 679 patients (mean age 66.4 years, 532 males) were analyzed in this retrospective observational study.New-onset AF was observed in 45 patients (6.6%). In univariate analysis, the hazard ratios (HRs) for patient age (HR 1.04, 95%CI 1.02-1.07), Killip II-IV (HR 2.34, 95%CI 1.29-4.23), elevated D-dimer level (> 1.0 μg/mL; HR 3.32; 95%CI 1.77-6.23), and coronary flow disturbance phenomenon (HR 5.61; 95%CI 2.88-10.9) were significantly higher in the NOAF group. In multivariate analysis, an elevated D-dimer level (> 1.0 μg/mL; HR 2.44; 95%CI 1.17-5.11) and coronary flow disturbance phenomenon (HR 4.61; 95%CI 2.29-9.27) were found to be independent risk factors for NOAF. An elevated D-dimer level at admission and the presence of coronary flow disturbance phenomenon after PCI were risk factors for NOAF following emergency PCI in patients with AMI.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is strongly linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and both of these conditions contribute to poor cardiovascular outcomes. We evaluated the impact of renal failure on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in AF, and predictive value of the 2MACE score in this post-hoc analysis of the AMADEUS trial. The primary endpoint was MACE (composite of myocardial infarction, cardiac revascularisation and cardiovascular mortality). Secondary endpoints included the composite of stroke, major bleeding and non-cardiovascular mortality, and each of the specific outcomes separately. Of the 4,554 patients, 1,526 (33.5%) were females and the median age was 71 (IQR 64 to 77) years. There were 3,838 (84.3%) non-CKD and 716 (15.7%) CKD patients. The incidence of cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality were 1.41% and 2.44% per 100 patient-years, respectively. There was no significant difference in crude study endpoints between the groups. Multivariable regression analysis found no association between CKD and MACE (HR 1.03 [95% CI, 0.45 to 2.34]). The c-index of the 2MACE score for MACE was 0.65 (95% CI, 0.59 to 0.71, p <0.001). In the presence of CKD, each additional point of the 2MACE score contributed to a greater risk of MACE (HR 3.17 [95% CI, 1.28 to 7.85] vs 1.48 [95% CI, 1.17 to 1.87] in the non-CKD group). In conclusion, the 2MACE score may be a useful tool for clinical risk stratification of high-risk AF patients with CKD and those at high MACE risk could be targeted for more intensive cardiovascular prevention strategies. The presence of CKD was not found to be independently associated with MACE in AF patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Atrial fibrillation is a relatively common complication of acute myocardial infarction with significant impact on the short and long-term prognosis.
Methods: A systematic literature review was done through Pubmed and CENTRAL to extract data related to new-onset atrial fibrillation following primary PCI.
Results: Searching resulted in twenty-one matched studies. Extraction of data showed an incidence rate of new-onset atrial fibrillation (2.8%-58%). A negative impact was found on the outcomes of patients treated with primary PCI with increased short and long-term mortality and morbidity.
Conclusion: New-onset atrial fibrillation is an adverse prognostic marker in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated invasively. Preventive measures and anticoagulant therapy should be considered more intensively in this subset of patients.
