“…Current guidelines recommend the GRACE risk score to perform risk stratification in CAD, especially for patients with acute coronary syndrome [ 12 ]. Even though the GRACE score is easy to apply, the score in isolation was associated with significant over and undertreatment, suggesting the need for more accurate assessments using a wider range of clinical variables [ 3 , 4 ]. However, integrating a patient's various clinical information for risk scoring is a challenge for cardiovascular physicians.…”

“…Importantly, for some patients with serious chest pain, the coronary arteries might become more severely blocked and require a revascularization procedure as soon as possible. Nevertheless, there are data suggesting that patients at low risk of developing ischemic complications are treated overly aggressively, generating the so-called “treatment-risk paradox” [ 3 5 ]. For this reason, there is a need for prediction models in addition to the GRACE risk score [ 6 ].…”

“…Current guidelines recommend the GRACE risk score to perform risk strati cation in CAD, especially for patients with acute coronary syndrome [14] . Even though the GRACE score is easy to implement, the score in isolation was associated with signi cant over-and under-treatment, suggesting the need for more accurate assessments using a wider range of clinical variables [3,4] .…”

“…Current guidelines call for aggressive management, including revascularization in at-risk patiens [2] . Nevertheless, there are data suggesting that patients at low risk of developing ischemic complications are treated overly aggressively, generating the so-called 'treatment-risk" paradox' [3][4][5] . For this reason, there is a need for prediction models in addition to the GRACE risk score [6] .…”
