TRUJILLO-FLORES, David  and  GARCIA-MENDOZA, José de J.. Atrial fibrillation de novo in acute coronary syndrome. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2024, vol.94, n.2, pp.181-190.  Epub May 14, 2024. ISSN 1665-1731.  https://doi.org/10.24875/acm.23000008.

One of the complications during an acute coronary syndrome event is the presence of arrhythmias. Among them, those of the supraventricular type, especially atrial fibrillation, carry a poor prognosis both in the short and long term, being the cause of situations such as cerebrovascular event, ventricular arrhythmias, and increased mortality. The arrhythmia tends to appear in a certain population group with particular risk factors during the index event in approximately 10% of cases. Appropriate treatment at the time of its onset, thanks to the use of drugs that modulate heart rate, rhythm, and anticoagulant management in the most vulnerable groups, will lead to a less bleak outcome for these patients.
