Abstract

BACKGROUND: The impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) among patients with amyloidosis on in-hospital outcomes is not well-established. We aimed to examine in-hospital outcomes among patients admitted with a primary diagnosis of AF with and without amyloidosis.

METHODS AND RESULTS: We queried the Nationwide Readmissions Database to compare the in-hospital outcomes among AF patients with and without amyloidosis. Our study demonstrated that in-hospital all-cause mortality, adverse events, and 30-day readmission were comparable between the two groups.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with AF and concurrent amyloidosis did not have worse in-hospital outcomes than those with AF alone.
