Key result
Higher TIMI risk score correlates with greater coronary artery disease extent in NSTEMI.
Why the study?
The relationship between TIMI risk score and the extent of coronary artery disease in non-STEMI patients was not well established.
Observational (n=237)

May aid CAD extent estimation in non-STEMI; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between TIMI risk score and the extent of coronary artery disease in non-STEMI patients. A descriptive prospective study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology of Chaudhary Pervez Elahi Institute of Cardiology, Multan, from 3rd June 2021-3rd June 2022. 237 patients admitted with NSTEMI within 7 days of admission were included. Baseline demographic characteristics were noted in a performed performance. The TIMI score for all patients was calculated. All patients underwent coronary angiography and the Gensini score was calculated. Average patients’ age was 54.44±9.10 years. The mean genuine score was 37.17±5.62, and the TIMI score was 3.93±1.42. There were 162 (68.35%) male and 75 (31.65%) female patients. Diabetes was found in 83 (35.02%) and hypertension in 124 (52.32%) patients. Family history of CAD was found in 54 (22.78%) patients, and hypercholesterolemia in 57 (22.05%) patients. TIMI score significantly correlated with Gensini score with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.50 and p-value <0.0001. It is concluded that in NSTEMI patients, clinical risk stratification as determined by TIMI risk score is associated with the determined extent of the disease via the Gensini score.

NIAZI et al. (2023) conducted an observational in non-STEMI (n=237). TIMI risk score was evaluated on Correlation between TIMI risk score and Gensini score (r = 0.50, p=<0.0001). The TIMI risk score was significantly correlated with the extent of coronary artery disease as determined by the Gensini score in patients with non-STEMI (r=0.50, P<0.0001).
