Abstract:Objective To assess the predictive value of GRACE, HEART and TIMI score in major adverse cardiac events in acute chest pain patients. Methods A total of 378 acute chest pain patients, admitted to hospitals were included, were divided into MACE group (n?=?33) and non-MACE group (n?=?345) based on whether MACE occurred within 6 weeks. Comparing clinical data between two groups, the risk factors related to MACE was analyzed by Logistic regression, cumulative hazard functions of MACE was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method, and predictive value of three scores on MACE was assessed by ROC curve. Results Age, hypertension, GRACE scores, HEART scores, TIMI scores, fasting blood glucose, TC, LDL-C and CRP in the MACE group was signifincantly higher than those in the non-MACE group, meanwhile, SpO2, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure was markedly lower than those in the non-MACE group, and the differences between two groups were statistically significant (all P?0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, GRACE scores, HEART scores and TIMI scores were the independent risk factors for MACE in patients with chest pain (all P?0.05). ROC curve showed that AUC of MACE predicted by HEART was 0.915 and significanly higher than GRACE score (0.709) and TIMI score (0.778), of which sensitivity and specificity was 75.8% and 94.8%, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analyses showed that patients with high HEART scores had significantly higher incidence rate of MACE than patients with middle and low HEART scores (P?0.05). Conclusions HEART score is applicable for risk stratification and predicting the risk of MACE of chest pain patients.
