Risk scores for risk stratification in acute coronary syndromes: useful but simpler is not necessarily better.
AIMS Our objectives were (i) to compare the discriminatory performance of the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction risk score (TIMI RS), Platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa in Unstable angina: Receptor Suppression Using Integrilin Therapy risk score (PURSUIT RS), and Global Registry of Acute Cardiac Events risk score (GRACE RS) for in-hospital and 1 year mortality across the broad spectrum of non-S...
متن کاملAcute coronary syndromes: risk stratification.
syndromes aims to identify those patients at greatest risk of recurrent ischaemic events who might benefit prognostically from further investigation and treatment. Unfortunately, however, none of the clinical or investigative markers currently available has suYcient diagnostic power to identify all high risk patients while excluding those at negligible risk. Moreover, for patients judged to be ...
متن کاملRisk stratification in acute coronary syndromes.
In acute coronary syndromes, risk stratification is essential, particularly in those without ST-elevation, and is based upon clinical and biological markers. Among them, recent and repeated anginal attacks, ST-segment modifications on admission electrocardiogram, and increased markers of myonecrosis (particularly increased troponine levels) are strong predictors of untoward outcome. These varia...
متن کاملRisk stratification in non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes: Risk scores, biomarkers and clinical judgment.
Undifferentiated chest pain is one of the most common reasons for emergency department attendance and admission to hospitals. Non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) is an important cause of chest pain, and accurate diagnosis and risk stratification in the emergency department must be a clinical priority. In the future, the incidence of NSTE-ACS will rise further as higher sensitivi...
متن کاملRisk stratification with cardiac troponin I in acute coronary syndromes.
Recent years have shown a rapidly growing interest among clinical chemists, clinical cardiologists and emergency physicians in the use of new biochemical markers for risk stratification of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It was demonstrated across a wide range of ACS patient populations (including low-, intermediate-, and high-risk) that evidence of myocardial injury upon presentat...
