Association between CHADS2 Score and the Preventive Effect of Statin Therapy on New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction

摘要

ObjectivesNew-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) commonly occurs in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Data regarding the value of the CHADS2 score in patients hospitalized for AMI is limited. This study aimed to determine whether the CHADS2 score is associated with new-onset AF and if it can help identify the patients who will benefit most from statin use for the prevention of arrhythmia after AMI.
