BurdEn of NEw Onset Atrial FIbrillation in patienTs With Acute Myocardial Infarction: the BENEFIT-AMI Multicenter Prospective Registry
To validate the prognostic importance of the burden of new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a prospectively designed hospital-based registry. To characterize those factors that contribute to the progression of post-MI NOAF burden. To establish a prediction model for the risk stratification of patients with NOAF complicating AMI. To explore the clinical usefulness of NOAF burden in guiding the anticoagulation therapy among patients with post-MI NOAF.
• Adult patients (\>18 years old);
• Patient with AMI (including STEMI and NSTEMI) who developed NOAF during the index hospitalization;
• Patients must have received in-hospital CEM for at least 5 days;
• Patients must give informed consent.
