Impact of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction and Cardiogenic Shock Receiving Coronary Revascularization with Percutaneous Ventricular Assist Device Support

Atrial fibrillation is common in patients with advanced heart failure and associated with high mortality,1 whereas its impact on those receiving mechanical circulatory supports remains controversial.2Gupta and colleagues demonstrated that atrial fibrillation was not associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock requiring coronary revascularization and percutaneous ventricular assist devices.3 Several concerns should improve their findings
