Risk Stratification of Patients Undergoing Primary Pci for Stemi Using Dynamic Timi Risk Score at A Tertiary Care Cardiac Center

Objective: To determine the frequency of severity based on dynamic TIMI scoring among STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI at a tertiary care Cardiac center. Subject and Methods: This case series study was carried out on 171 patients admitted with acute STEMI undergoing PPCI at the department of cardiology NICVD, Karachi for six months from February 1st to July 30th, 2018. After the selection of patients, they were shifted to the Cath lab, the arterial sheath was passed through the femoral route only although the radial route is also present but to reduce the bias we choose the same femoral route only. Angiography was done and the area of occlusion identified was ballooned/stented by the interventional cardiologist having experience of at least 03 years. The study parameters of dynamic TIMI risk score points were recorded on a predesigned proforma. Results: The mean age of the patients of the study subjects was 59.89±12.67, Distribution of gender was stated, 133(77.78%) patients were male and (22.22%) were female. Outcome dynamic TIMI risk score severity was stated, 86(50.29%) patients had a low risk, 62(36.26%) patients had a moderate risk, 23(13.45%) patients had a high risk. Conclusion: When used in STEMI patients, this new approach shows the ever-changing risks and could be helpful in clinical decision-making as well as risk assessment.
