Abstract Background The incidence of atrial fibrillation in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) ranges from 3% to 25%. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the demographic and baseline clinical characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors and comorbid conditions between patients (pts) with concomitant atrial fibrillation (AF) to those without AF in patients suffering from ACS without previous coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods The MINOCA-TR study has a cross-sectional, multicenter, observational design and was conducted with 32 interventional cardiology centers in our country. Heart rhythm at emergency admission, demographical, clinical and angiographic data was recorded for each patient. Patients with stable coronary artery disease, unstable angina pectoris and with type 4/5 myocardial infarction were excluded from study population. Results A total of 1626 patients (male: 70.7%, mean age: 61.4±12.5 years) were classified according to the presence of AF. The rate of AF was 3.1% in study population. This group was older (73.4 vs. 61.0 years, p
