Risk Prediction Models for Ischemic Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has a high incidence of adverse cardiovascular events, even after early invasive treatment. Patients may still have a poor prognosis after discharge. The keys to the long-term survival of patients with ACS include effective treatment in a timely manner and identification of those patients who are at higher risk for long-term adverse events. Therefore, several nations have now devised a range of risk assessment models to provide data for accurately formulating treatment plans for patients with various risk levels following an ACS to prevent short and long-term cardiovascular events. The purpose of this article is to review the risk scores associated with mortality and ischemic events in patients with ACS. By using the clinical risk prediction score, we can accurately and effectively judge the prognosis of patients, so as to take a more reasonable treatment.
