Can GRACE Risk Score Predict the Coronary Anatomy in Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome?

چکیده
Methods: We evaluated 95 patient data retrospectively who were hospitalized with a diagnosis of non-ST elevation ACS between 2005-2006 at the Istanbul University Cardiology Institute. All the patients’ GRACE risk scores were calculated and coronary angiograms were re-analysed. We further divided the patients into three groups according to risk score (Low risk score: <108, medium risk score: 109-140, high risk score: >141) and evaluated the association between the GRACE risk score and the number of diseased coronary arteries.

Background: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI ) are common types of acute coronary syndrome which are associated with the risk factors of age, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. Objective: The present study aimed to examine the effects of age on the risk factors and clinical sym...

BACKGROUND In patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), identification of the patients with high-risk coronary anatomy (HRCA) who are most likely to require coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is crucial. The SYNTAX score (SXscore) is an angiographic grading tool designed to determine the complexity of coronary artery disease. It appears that CABG offers significantl...

Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) represent the most common cause of death in the western world. We retrospectively screened data of non-STEMI patients admitted to the coronary care unit of a tertiary center between March 2015 and March 2016. GRACE score was calculated and patients were classified into low (1 to 108), intermediate (109 to 140) and high risk (>40) groups according to GRACE categori...

According to studies, a significant association exists between the low levels of vitamin D and cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction (MI). In a prospective, case control study, 88 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) including ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and Non-STEMI were enrolled. The plasma level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D[25(OH)D] was obtained at the time ...
