CORRELATION OF CLINICAL RISK SCORES WITH ANGIOGRAPHIC EXTENT AND SEVERITY USING MODIFIED GENSINI SCORE IN PATIENTS WITH ST ELEVATED MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases have emerged as a significant health burden and became a leading cause of mortality in developing countries like India.In cardiovascular diseases, acute coronary syndromes are the primary cause of morbidity and mortality, for which timely diagnosis and appropriate therapy are of foremost importance to improve clinical outcomes.Different scoring systems are now available based on initial clinical history, electrocardiographic and laboratory tests that enable early risk stratification on admission. The risk scores were created and recommended by national and international guidelines to identify patients with a higher probability of adverse events, recommending more intensive treatment and early angiography in this population.In this study, we considered evaluating clinical predictors and suitable risk scores GRACE and TIMI that correlate with the severity of angiographic extent of coronary artery disease in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction using Modified GENSINI score.
