introduction: in cases with potential diagnosis of ischemic chest pain, screening high risk patients for adverse outcomes would be very helpful. the present study was designed aiming to determine the diagnostic accuracy of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (timi) score in patients with potential diagnosis of ischemic chest pain. method: this diagnostic accuracy study was designed to evaluat...

BACKGROUND In patients admitted to the emergency department with complaints of chest pain and unstable angina pectoris, ST-elevation MI scoring is done according to risk factors used to calculate risks of urgent revascularization, MI, and death within 14 days. For this calculation, the most widely used scoring system is TIMI risk score. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this prospective, cross-sectiona...

BACKGROUND C-reactive protein (CRP) measured at hospital arrival of patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (ACS) may add prognostic information to the TIMI-Risk Score. METHODS Eighty-six consecutive patients admitted with unstable angina or non-ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction and symptoms onset within the prior 48 h were included. Recurrent cardiovascular events duri...

Background: Angiographic no-reflow phenomenon after primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) may result in unfavorable outcome. Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the TIMI risk score of STEMI as a predictor of no-reflow phenomenon after primary PCI. Patients and Methods: We analyzed 627 patients presenting w...

BACKGROUND In most studies, the agreeable risk scores for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) consist of thrombolytic in myocardial infarction (TIMI) risk score and modified Gensini risk score. Researchers showed significant relations between TIMI with angiography scores in patients with UA/NSTEMI. We studied this relation in patients with STEMI. METHODS We studied CCU patients with ST...

OBJECTIVE To investigate which risk score (TIMI score or HEART score) identifies the largest population of low-risk patients at the emergency department (ED). Furthermore, we retrospectively calculated the corresponding expected decrease in medical consumption if these patients would have been discharged from the ED. METHODS We performed analyses in two hospitals of the multicentre prospectiv...

BACKGROUND TIMI Risk Score for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was developed in a cohort of patients treated with fibrinolysis. It was though to predict in-hospital and short-term prognosis. Later studies validated this approach in large cohorts of patients, regardless of the applied treatment and presented its good power to predict 30-day mortality. AIM We applied the TIMI Risk Sc...

BACKGROUND The Clopidogrel in Unstable angina to prevent Recurrent Events (CURE) trial demonstrated that clopidogrel, given early and continued long term, was superior to placebo in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes receiving aspirin. The purpose of the present analysis was to estimate the treatment effect Zof clopidogrel in patients who were stratified according to their ...
