The incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) varies between 7% and 21%, and most of these studies were in the thrombolytic era. However, the frequency of new-onset AF during the primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) period is still unclear. We aimed to investigate the frequency of new-onset AF and its effects on long-term clinical events in patients undergoing primary PCI.
