N2 - Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), a frequent complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), was found to be a weak independent predictor of the longterm mortality in surviving patients in 2 recent studies.1,2 We are unaware of any studies on the prognostic impact of chronic AF on patients with AMI. The present study assesses the short- and long-term outcomes of patients with chronic AF having an AMI.
