Atrial fibrillation de novo in acute coronary syndrome

Arch Cardiol Mex. 2024;94(2):181-190. doi: 10.24875/ACM.23000008.ABSTRACTOne of the complications during an acute coronary syndrome event is the presence of arrhythmias. Among them, those of the supraventricular type, especially atrial fibrillation, carry a poor prognosis both in the short and long term, being the cause of situations such as cerebrovascular event, ventricular arrhythmias, and increased mortality. The arrhythmia tends to appear in a certain population group with particular risk factors during the index event in approximately 10% of cases. Appropriate treatment at the time of its onset, thanks to the use of drugs that modulate heart rate, rhythm, and anticoagulant management in the most vulnerable groups, will lead to a less bleak outcome for these patients.PMID:38648718 | DOI:10.24875/ACM.23000008
