Abstract
The GRACE, HEART and TIMI scores have been well validated for assessment of prognosis in non-ST- elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). However, their value in predicting coronary artery disease (CAD) has been little studied. In this paper, we aimed to assess the relationship between these scores and the extent of coronary disease, by studying 183 cases with NSTEMI, from cardiology department in Mohamed VI university hospital center in Marrakesh. Results showed a positive correlation between the SYNTAX and the HEART and GRACE scores, but the correlation with TIMI reached no statistical significance.
