Abstract Background The incidence of atrial fibrillation in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) ranges from 3% to 25%. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the demographic and baseline clinical characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors and comorbid conditions between patients (pts) with concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF) to those without AF in patients suffering from ACS without previous coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods The MINOCA-TR study has a cross-sectional, multicenter, observational design and was conducted with 32 interventional cardiology centers in our country. Heart rhythm at emergency admission, demographical, clinical and angiographic data was recorded for each patient. Patients with stable coronary artery disease, unstable angina pectoris and with type 4/5 myocardial infarction were excluded from study population. Results A total of 1626 patients (male: 70.7%, mean age: 61.4±12.5 years) were classified according to the presence of AF. The rate of AF was 3.1% in study population. This group was older (73.4 vs. 61.0 years, p<0.001) and AF was more common among females (43.1% vs. 28.7%, p=0.027). The frequency of AF was slightly higher (7.8%) in MINOCA group (p=ns). STEMI presentation was more common in patients without AF (31.3% vs. 46.9%, p=0.028). LVEF was significantly lower in ACS patients with AF (44.1% vs. 49.4%, p=0.039). The frequency of AF was significantly higher (3.7%) in MINOCA group. AF vs. non-AF ACS pts w/o prior revasc Parameter ACS with AF ACS without AF p value Age (years) 73.4 (±9.4) 61.0 (±12.4) <0.001 Female (%) 43.1 28.7 0.027 cTnT levels (pg/dL) median (IQR) 15.2 (96) 15.3 (428) 0.421 STEMI (%) 31.3 46.9 0.028 LVEF (%) 44.1 (±12.2) 49.4 (±10.4) 0.039 MINOCA (%) 7.8 6.6 0.743 STEMI: ST-segment elevation MI; NSTEMI: Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; MINOCA: Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries. Conclusions The frequency of AF was relatively lower in patients suffering from an ACS without prior revascularization history. They were older than patients without AF and were common in females. Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was significantly higher in the AF. The presence of MINOCA was similar between 2 groups.
