Value of Adding the CHA2DS2-VASc Score to the GRACE Score for Mortality Risk Prediction in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score has been routinely used for risk stratification of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. We aimed to examine whether the addition of the CHA2DS2-VASc score to the GRACE score improves risk stratification. Included were patients with ACS w...

Description
Summary:Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score has been routinely used for risk stratification of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. We aimed to examine whether the addition of the CHA2DS2-VASc score to the GRACE score improves risk stratification. Included were patients with ACS who were divided into high (>140), intermediate (110< GRACE score ≤140) and low (
