Core Tip
Core Tip: Risk stratification with a specific risk score can provide an estimate of patient prognosis and optimize clinical strategies. This study discussed the capabilities of GRACE and SYNTAX score in predicting the incidence of different major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). It showed that the incidence of MACE was lower in patients with low and high GRACE and SYNTAX scores who received agents than in patients who underwent stent placement or coronary artery bypass grafting. These data suggest that GRACE and SYNTAX scores have prognostic value in NSTE-ACS patients.
