Computed Tomography-Based SYNTAX Score: A Case Report.
The SYNTAX score is an angiographic scoring system that is currently used for evaluating the complexity of coronary lesions. Its efficiency in both long-term prognosis and the selection of treatment modalities has been shown in many studies. However, there is little evidence for the use of this scoring system in CT angiography, which has become a part of coronary artery disease practice. Here, ...
متن کاملLost in calculation: the clinical SYNTAX score goes logistic.
Cardiothoracic surgery pioneered the use of risk models in the reporting of operative results of patients referred to myocardial revascularization. Recently, interventional cardiology has rekindled its interest in constructing specific scores for longterm risk prediction of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). One of them, dubbed the SYNTAX score, is a successful model with website dissemi...
متن کاملThe relation between vitamin B12 and SYNTAX score.
BACKGROUND Vitamin B12 is required in the metabolism of homocysteine. Vitamin B12 deficiency has been implicated in endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease via hyperhomocysteinaemia. However, the association of vitamin B12 and the severity of coronary artery disease has not been studied to date. AIM This study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the relationship between vitami...
متن کاملApplication of the SYNTAX score in interventional cardiology
BACKGROUND Should the SYNTAX score be integrated in Interventional Cardiology? Should it really be considered as a vital decision-making tool in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)? To confirm the importance of this score, we aimed to systematically compare the postinterventional adverse cardiovascular outcomes which were observed in patients who were allotted a low versus a high SYNTAX sc...
متن کاملSyntax score: The fallacies and remedies—A perspective
The syntax score devised as a tool to grade complexity of coronary artery disease with a view to its suitability for PCI or otherwise on deeper introspection is fraught with some inherent limitations and fallacies largely as a result of the variability in coronary anatomy and the fixed nomenclature of the devised scoring system. We, in this special report, bring out the limitations and fallacie...
