New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction in China (NOAFCAMI-China)

March 16, 2026 updated by: Ya-Wei Xu, Shanghai 10th People's Hospital

The Prognostic Impacts and Clinical Utility of the Characteristics of New-onset Atrial Fibrillation Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction in China

To investigate the prognostic impacts of the atrial fibrillation burden (AFb) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients who developed paroxysmal new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) during the index AMI hospitalization.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In the present study, investigators retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all acute MI patients who were admitted to the coronary artery unit (CCU) of Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, KaiFeng Central Hospital, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between January 2014 and January 2022. All patients will routinely receive continuous electronic monitoring (CEM) throughout their hospital stay to detect cardiac arrhythmias including the AF events. Of these, patients with AMI without a history of AF who developed a first documented AF episode will be considered for inclusion. The AFb is measured as a percentage (%) by dividing the total AF duration by the total CEM duration.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Post-MI NOAF with low AF burden
Patients with post-MI NOAF who had a AF burden<10.87%. The cut-off value of AF burden of 10.87% was identified based on our previous work.
All patients with MI hospitalized in the CCU department of Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, KaiFeng Central Hospital, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University will receive 24-hour continuous cardiac monitoring until discharge.

Post-MI NOAF with high AF burden
Patients with post-MI NOAF who had a AF burden≥10.87%.
All patients with MI hospitalized in the CCU department of Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, KaiFeng Central Hospital, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University will receive 24-hour continuous cardiac monitoring until discharge.
