Issue Date: | Mar-2023 | Date: | 2023 | Publication information: | Internal Medicine Journal 2023; 53(3):436-438 | Abstract: | Atrial fibrillation can present with symptoms of myocardial infarction and elevated troponin, even in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). We sought to determine the characteristics that predict underlying obstructive CAD. Obstructive CAD was far more likely in those with troponin elevation. In those with elevated troponin, diabetes mellitus was an independent predictor of obstructive CAD. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/32618 | DOI: | 10.1111/imj.16027 | ORCID: | 0000-0001-9282-4688 0000-0002-9302-5607 |
