The GRACE score effectively stratifies event risk in single-vessel disease but performs poorly in multivessel disease after ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction.
Does the extent of coronary artery disease impact the prognostic performance of the GRACE risk score after STEMI?
The GRACE risk score has variable prognostic utility depending on anatomic disease burden post-STEMI, performing poorly in patients with multivessel disease.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
In this contemporary STEMI cohort, the GRACE score effectively stratifies event risk in single-vessel but performs poorly in multivessel disease. These findings suggest variable prognostic utility of the GRACE score across anatomic disease burden post-STEMI and caution when applying it across STEMI subgroups.
