N2 - Aim. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered a frequent complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aim of this study was to examine the incidence and prognostic significance of AF complicating AMI. Methods. A total of 848 patients with AMI were examined evaluating: age, sex, coronary risk factors, incidence of AF, prior ischemic events, infarct location, electrocardiogram on admission, thrombolytic therapy, in-hospital complications and mortality. Results. AF was recorded in 84 patients (9.9%). They were older (P
