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.
Khot et al. (2003) studied this question.
