“…reported the same key findings. 4,5 We agree with the authors that the main results could be partly explained by the similarity of the clinical presentations of CAD and AF. Chest pain, dyspnea, anxiety-or even elevated levels of biomarkers-are common in both CAD and AF paroxysms.…”

“…In our previous studies, we demonstrated the impact of air pollution on both the incidence of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) 3 and deaths from any cardiac causes. 4 Decision making on patient selection for coronary angiography in the setting of AF is more difficult than in patients without AF. 5 Hence, further prospective evaluation of this population is also necessary.…”

“…In the LIFE-Heart Study, there were no associations between AF and location of coronary stenosis among patients with single-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) and, in comparison to patients with single-vessel CAD, the risk for AF was lower in those with double and triple CAD [ 8 ]. In our Białystok Coronary Project of patients undergoing elective coronary angiography, AF was associated with a lack of obstructive coronary lesions [ 9 ].…”

Over the next decades, the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is estimated to double. Our aim was to investigate the causes of the long-term mortality in relation to the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). The analysed population consisted of 7367 consecutive patients referred for elective coronary angiography enrolled in a large single-centre retrospective registry, out of whom 1484 had AF and 2881 were diagnosed with obstructive CCS. During follow-up (median = 2029 days), 1201 patients died. The highest all-cause death was seen in AF(+)/CCS(+) [194/527; 36.8%], followed by AF(+)/CCS(−) [210/957; 21.9%], AF(−)/CCS(+) [(459/2354; 19.5%)] subgroups. AF ([HR]AC = 1.48, 95%CI, 1.09–2.01; HRCV = 1.34, 95%CI, 1.07–1.68) and obstructive CCS (HRAC = 1.90, 95%CI, 1.56–2.31; HRCV = 2.27, 95%CI, 1.94–2.65) together with age, male gender, heart failure, obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes were predictors of both all-cause and CV mortality. The main findings are as follow among patients referred for elective coronary angiography, both AF and obstructive CCS are strong and independent predictors of the long-term mortality. Mortality of AF without CCS was at least as high as non-AF patients with CCS. CV deaths were more frequent than non-CV deaths in AF patients with CCS compared to those with either AF or CCS alone.

Purpose We investigated the preoperative assessment of coronary artery calcification using computed tomography for appropriate intraoperative management to reduce the risk of perioperative cardiac complications during pulmonary resection. Methods Patients (n = 665) who underwent anatomical lung resection were examined. The extent of preoperative asymptomatic coronary artery stenosis or cardiac complications in patients with coronary artery calcification was assessed. In addition, the risk factors for perioperative cardiac complications were determined. Results Coronary artery calcification was detected in 233 (35.0%) asymptomatic patients. Nineteen (8.2%) patients with coronary artery calcification had coronary artery stenosis ≥ 75%. Percutaneous coronary intervention was performed preoperatively (n = 3) and postoperatively (n = 10), and preoperative drug intervention was performed in 10 cases. One case of severe postoperative cardiac complications and 20 cases of mild postoperative cardiac complications, including those without coronary artery calcification, occurred. Patients with calcified coronary arteries were at risk of cardiovascular complications in the perioperative period. However, patients with coronary artery calcification who underwent preoperative cardiology intervention had no significant perioperative cardiovascular complications. Conclusions Coronary artery calcification detected on preoperative computed tomography is a risk factor for perioperative cardiovascular complications. Early intervention may reduce the risk of such complications.
