Abstract: Background and objective Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common supraventricular arrhythmia occurring after myocardial infarction (MI). Height, body weight, waist and hip circumference, and body mass index (BMI) are considered potential risk factors for the development of AFib. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of BMI and waist circumference on the İncidence of AFib in patients with acute MI. Methods This prospective, cross-sectional, observational study was conducted in the coronary intensive care unit (CICU) of a tertiary care university hospital between July 2014 and February 2016. Patients diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) were included. Demographic, clinical, echocardiographic, and laboratory data, past medical history, and anthropometric measurements were recorded. Continuous electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring was performed for following up on the occurrence of AFib. Then, AFib predictors were identified using multiple regression analysis. Results AFib developed in 31 (9.3%) patients in the cohort. No significant difference was observed between patients with or without AFib in terms of BMI and waist circumference values (p=0.686 vs. p=0.728, respectively). Factors associated with AFib development as per the multivariate analyses included age (OR: 1.051, 95% CI: 1.013-1.09; p=0.008), pulse rate (OR: 1.043, 95% CI: 1.018-1.069; p=0.001), peak troponin T value (OR: 1.356, 95% CI: 1.135-1.619; p=0.001), and length of CICU stay (OK: 2.247, 95% CI: 1.163-4.340; p=0.016). Conclusion BMI and waist circumference measurements were similar in patients with and without AFib during acute MI. Age, pulse rate, peak troponin T, and duration of CICU stay were identified as independent predictors of AFib development.
