In the first year after MI, new-onset AF was diagnosed in 1381 women (4.2%). Unadjusted incidence rates of AF decreased with use of HRT (incidence rate 37.4 for use of overall HRT and 53.7 for no use). Overall HRT was associated with a decreased risk of AF (HR 0.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.68-1.00). The lowest risk of AF was found in women ≥80 years old for use of overall HRT and vaginal estrogen (HR 0.63, CI 0.42-0.94, and HR 0.58, CI 0.34-0.99, respectively). Decreased risk of AF with use of overall HRT and HRT categories was also found in other age groups.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Use of HRT is associated with a decreased risk of new-onset AF in women with myocardial infarction first year after discharge.
