Risk stratification of patients undergoing medical therapy after coronary angiography
Authors' conclusion
In patients with NSTE ACS undergoing medical therapy, the SS, especially when >8, was shown to be a strong predictor of 1-year MACE, including mortality.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with NSTE ACS undergoing coronary angiography treated with medical therapy onlyof 4491 medically treated
- Participants
- 1,275 patients
- Comparison

- Primary endpoint
- MACE:
- Death
- MI
- Unplanned revascularization
- Follow-up
