Background: The prognostic value of the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score (GRS) and the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) risk index (TRI) has been reported in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between the GRS, TRI, and severity of CAD evaluated by SYNTAX score (SS) in patients Non ST segment elvation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the GRACE risk score and the TIMI risk index in predicting the extent and severity of coronary artery disease in patients with (NSTE-ACS) using Syntax score

Methods: A total number of 100 patients were admitted to National Heart Institute CCU with NSTE-ACS undergoing c... view more»
