1053-210 Incidence and prognosis of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation after non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes: Insights from the global registry of acute coronary events

Prognostic values of 4 risk scores in Chinese patients with chest pain

“…The Banach score included 2 novel predictors: “sudden cardiac arrest” (also in GRACE RS) and “pathological Q wave on admission ECG.” NSTEMI patients complicated with ventricular arrhythmias were at much higher risk of in-hospital and 6-month death than those without. [30] Patients with Q waves were at a higher risk of cardiovascular death. [31] …”

“…[30,32–34] Most studies have demonstrated that the GRACE score stratifies the risk of ACS patients in the ward setting, [33–34] whereas few studies have investigated its prognostic value in patients with chest pain presenting to the ED. [35] This tool is complex and requires a computer for calculation.…”

Predicting freedom from clinical events in non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes: the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events

“…Patients with NSTE-ACS complicated by ventricular arrhythmias are at much greater risk of in-hospital and 6-month death than those without 25. Similarly, patients with ACS complicated by atrial fibrillation are at increased risk of morbidity and mortality vs ACS patients not experiencing this arrhythmia 4.…”
