title: Peak troponin I level predicts new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with myocardial infarction.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We aimed to assess the predictive value of peak troponin I level for the occurrence of new-onset AF in myocardial infarction.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 1553 patients, who were hospitalized with diagnosis of STEMI and underwent primary PCI, were retrospectively evaluated. New-onset AF was defined as any newly diagnosed AF that occurred during index hospitalization after primary PCI.
  
  
  RESULTS
  New-onset AF was observed in 90 patients (5.8% of the study population). Patients who developed AF were older (56.1 vs. 62.6 years, p.
