The purpose of this study is to select and compare a range of rating scales to assess the clinical status of high-risk patients with gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). It was based on the evaluation of the severity of the disease by applying different integral scales in patients with heart disease and developing acute GIB. We evaluated the condition of the patients with Forest (F), Rockall and Glasgow-Blatkford integral scales. We achieved endoscopic homeostasis in 11.81% of patients. We managed to cure 69.15% of patients with conservative treatment and 19.04% with surgical treatment. According to the results of the Rockall scale, 23.63% of high-risk patients and 31.73% of higher-risk patients (total 55.36%) were. However, 19.04% of patients with a severity score above 6 required surgery. Based on these results, we believe that in patients with heart disease and GIB, the severity of the patient’s condition and the Glasgow-Blatkford integral scale are more appropriate in choosing the treatment protocol to be selected.
