The Predictive Value of CHA2DS2-VASc Score on Residual Syntax Score in Patients With ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

The CHA2DS2-VASc score is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease. The residual Syntax score (rSS) is a scoring tool which has prognostic value in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Our aim in this study is to investigate the predictive value of the CHA2DS2-VASc score on rSS in STEMI patients. A total of 688 consecutive patients with STEMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention were evaluated. Baseline demographic and clinical variables besides the CHA2DS2-VASc score were assessed. The patients were divided into two groups; patients with rSS of 8 or below as group 1 (509 patients) and more than 8 as group 2 (179 patients). A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The CHA2DS2-VASc score was higher in group 2 [1 (0-2); 1 (1-3), p
