Application of the TIMI risk score for ST-elevation MI in the national registry of myocardial infarction 3

Short‐ and Long‐Term Prognostic Value of the TIMI Risk Score after Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST‐segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

“…However, this score has been validated in a community-based STEMI population. 10 Finally, the following modifications were made to the TIMI risk score, probably reflecting the use of the clinical score in clinical practice: first, anterior MI was used instead of left bundle branch block or ST-segment elevation in the precordial leads on the electrocardiogram. Second and third, as previously mentioned, history of angina and the presence of Killip Class II-III were not available.…”

Escore TIMI no infarto agudo do miocárdio conforme níveis de estratificação de prognóstico

“…A systolic blood pressure of less than 100mmHg on admission was present in 24.3% of the cases. In other studies this frequency was 2.5% 9 to 8.7% 10 .…”

“…However, in the group stratified as high risk, this therapy was used in only 33.3% of the cases. An international study also stressed that patients who were not submited to reperfusion therapy had a higher prevalence of high-risk characteristics and higher TIMI scores 10 .…”

“…The TIMI score 9 for acute myocardial infarction with STsegment elevation was originally described based on eight variables 9 . This score has been described as simple, easily applicable at the bedside and with good discriminatory power for clinical complications and early mortality 9,10 .…”

Management of acute coronary syndrome: achievements and goals still to pursue. Novel developments in diagnosis and treatment

“…Although STEMI and NSTEMI do not share a common treatment strategy and risk scores are mostly used in the management of NSTEMI, risk stratification is important in both conditions to ensure appropriate treatment and estimation of prognosis. Therefore, it is noteworthy that both the TIMI and GRACE risk scores have also been validated for STEMI [44,46].…”
