![]() ![]() The receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curve was used to determine the value of HEART and TIMI scores in predicting MACEs. The patients were followed up within 4 weeks for monitoring any major adverse cardiac events or death. All adult patients with non-traumatic chest pain presenting to the emergency department were included, and their HEART and TIMI scores were evaluated. Methods:Ī prospective study was conducted on chest pain patients from January to December 2019. 2012 59(23):2091-8.To compare the value of HEART and TIMI scores in predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) of patients with chest pain in the emergency department at a tertiary care hospital in Ahmedabad, a city in western India. 2-Hour accelerated diagnostic protocol to assess patients with chest pain symptoms using contemporary troponins as the only biomarker: the ADAPT trial.

Many guidelines recommend higher risk levels receiving more aggressive medical intervention and/or receiving early invasive management.Īntman EM, Cohen M, Bernink PJLM, McCabe CH, Hoacek T, Papuchis G, Mautner B, Corbalan R, Radley D, Braunwald E. If patients are in the 0 or 1 point group, they should be further risk stratified using another risk score or one’s own institutional practices, as risk is not low enough to safely discharge from the hospital. Newer chest pain risk scores such as the HEART Score have been shown to better stratify risk than the TIMI Score, particularly in the undifferentiated chest pain patient. Unclear if this risk score can be used in patients with chest pain in the setting of cocaine use. ![]() Originally derived with patients with known unstable angina or NSTEMI. TIMI Risk Score for unstable angina/NSTEMI was developed as one of the earliest chest pain decision rules that was widely implemented. Patients who have a higher risk score may require more aggressive medical or procedural intervention. Patients with a score of 0 or 1 point are at lower risk of adverse outcome (death, MI, urgent revascularization) compared to patients with a higher risk score. Validation studies showed 1.7 to 2.1% of patients with a score of 0 still had adverse outcomes within 30 days. The original study showed 4.7% of patients with a score of 0 or 1 had adverse outcomes within 14 days. ScoreĪ TIMI risk score of 0 or 1 does not equal zero risk of adverse outcome. NB!!! A TIMI Risk Score of 0 does not equate to zero risk of adverse outcome. *Risk factors for CAD: Family history of CAD, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, or current smoker (thanks to Jeff Geske at Mayo for this update!) Interpretation of results: TIMI UA/NSTEMI assessment as addition of the selected points: Criteria Risk at 14 days of: all-cause mortality, new or recurrent MI, or severe recurrent ischemia requiring urgent revascularization Hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, family history of CAD, or current smoker:Ī TIMI Risk Score of 0 does not equate to zero risk of adverse outcome.ĭownload result as PDF file Patient’s score
