Does Killip classification predict all-cause mortality in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes?
Killip classification, along with age, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and ST depression, remains a key prognostic indicator for all-cause mortality in NSTE-ACS.
Killip classification is a powerful independent predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes. Age, Killip classification, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and ST depression should receive particular attention in the initial assessment of these patients.
