Prediction of risk of death and myocardial infarction in the six months after presentation with acute coronary syndrome: prospective multinational...

Abstract

This risk prediction tool uses readily identifiable variables to provide robust prediction of the cumulative six month risk of death or myocardial infarction. It is a rapid and widely applicable method for assessing cardiovascular risk to complement clinical assessment and can guide patient triage and management across the spectrum of patients with acute coronary syndrome.
