Abstract
Background and aim: There are conflicting results about the early administration of beta-blockers (bb) on in-hospital mortality and arrhythmias. Here, we wanted to investigate the effects of chronic bb use on in-hospital Atrial Fibrillation (AF) development in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients.
Materials and methods: A total of 814 consecutive patients with STEMI were included in the study. They were divided into two groups according to whether they are using bb on admission or not. They were followed for AF development in-hospital and predictors of AF were determined by multivariable logistic regression analysis.
Results: Of the 814 patients, 103 (12.67%) patients were already using bb, while 711 (87.3%) were not. There were no significant differences in the frequency of AF development [3 (%2.9) vs 30 (%4.2), p = .788] between the groups. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that left atrial (LA) diameter is the only independent predictor of in-hospital AF development.
Conclusions: Our study showed that chronic bb use does not have an effect on in-hospital AF development in STEMI patients. Nevertheless, LA diameter was found to be an independent predictor of AF.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension is a reputable journal that has converted to a full Open Access format starting from Volume 45 in 2023. While previous volumes are still accessible through a Pay to Read model, the journal now provides free and open access to its content. It serves as an international platform for the exchange of up-to-date scientific and clinical information concerning both human and animal hypertension. The journal publishes a wide range of articles, including full research papers, solicited and unsolicited reviews, and commentaries. Through these publications, the journal aims to enhance current understanding and support the timely detection, management, control, and prevention of hypertension-related conditions.
One notable aspect of Clinical and Experimental Hypertension is its coverage of special issues that focus on the proceedings of symposia dedicated to hypertension research. This feature allows researchers and clinicians to delve deeper into the latest advancements in this field.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in several renowned databases, including Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes News (Online), Reactions Weekly (Online), CABI, EBSCOhost, Elsevier BV, International Atomic Energy Agency, and the National Library of Medicine, among others. These affiliations ensure that the journal's content receives broad visibility and facilitates its discoverability by professionals and researchers in related disciplines.
