The value of syntax score to predict new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) has been associated with poor outcome in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Also, Syntax score (SS) is a scoring system that is derived from angiographic images and is associated with long-term mortality and major adverse cardiac events. In this study, we aimed to assess the relationship between SS and NOAF with known predictors of atrial fibrillation. ⋯ Syntax score may be helpful to identify for patients who would develop atrial fibrillation in the setting of ACS.
