Validation of the Grace Risk Score to Predict In-Hospital and 6-Month Post-Discharge Mortality in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome

Abstract Background The wide range of clinical presentations of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) makes it indispensible to use tools for risk stratification and for appropriate risks management; thus, the use of prognosis scores is recommended in the immediat clinical decision-making. Objective To valid...

Acute Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries - Stratifying the Risk of a "new" Clinical Entity using an "Old" Tool

Int. j. cardiovasc. sci. (Impr.); 34 (5,supl.1), 2021
Abstract Background Some of the patients admitted for acute myocardial infarction have non-obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA). Their prognosis is not always benign, making it necessary the development of tools for risk stratification of these patients. Objectives To describe the characteris...

Treatment of individual predictors with neural network algorithms improves Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events score discrimination

Arch. cardiol. Méx; 91 (1), 2021
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to develop, train, and test different neural network (NN) algorithm-based models to improve the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score performance to predict in-hospital mortality after an acute coronary syndrome. Methods: We analyzed a pros...

Practical Approach to Acute Coronary Syndrome in Patients with COVID-19

Abstract Acute cardiac injury is associated with higher mortality in patients with the novel coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and the exact etiology can be challenging to diagnose in the emergency setting during the pandemic. From a pathophysiological perspective, SARS-CoV-2 infection is characterized...

Performance of cardiovascular risk scores in mortality prediction ten years after Acute Coronary Syndromes

SUMMARY BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the Framingham risk score (FRS) and risk score by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (SR ACC/AHA) in predicting mortality of patients ten years after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS Thi...

Implementation of an Acute Coronary Syndrome Simulation Training Strategy for Emergency Healthcare Professionals

The knowledge on the management of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is essential to reduce the gap between evidence and practice. Objective: To describe a simulation training strategy for emergency healthcare professionals and provide preliminary data on knowledge acquisition, learners' confi...
