Syntax Score and Major Adverse Cardiac Events in Patients withSuspected Coronary Artery Disease: Results from a Cohort Study in aUniversity-Affiliated Hospital in Southern Brazil

摘要

Background:The importance of coronary anatomy in predicting cardiovascular events is well known. The use of traditional anatomical scores in routine angiography, however, has not been incorporated to clinical practice. SYNTAX score (SXscore) is a scoring system that estimates the anatomical extent of coronary artery disease (CAD). Its ability to predict outcomes based on a baseline diagnostic angiography has not been tested to date.
