Atrial dyssynchrony, but not atrial enlargement/dysfunction, reflects acute atrial histopathological changes. It has been shown to be associated with new‐onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) in various clinical conditions but was not studied in the acute phase of ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) which is the aim of the current study.
