Discussion

Retrospective cohort study identifies older age and higher NT-proBNP levels in women with STEMI, suggesting increased atrial fibrillation incidence.

Women with STEMI are older at presentation, significantly impacting clinical outcomes and atrial fibrillation incidence.
Statistically significant differences were found in NT-proBNP levels between women and men, with women exhibiting higher levels.
Multivariate analysis indicates that age and smoking significantly correlate with atrial fibrillation, while sex does not.
No significant variations were observed in the occurrence of atrial fibrillation based on the location of culprit lesions.
