Key result
High TIMI score in STEMI linked to ~15% in-hospital mortality.
Why the study?
High TIMI risk score is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction, but the frequency and complications in this population require further examination.

High TIMI scores flag elevated in-hospital risk in STEMI; leaves open prospective validation before guiding management.
Objective: To determine the complications associated to High TIMI risk score among patients presented with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction. Study Design: Cross sectional Place & Duration: Study was conducted at Cardiac Centre of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Islamabadfor duration of 6 months from January to June, 2020. Methods: Total 290 patients of both genders with ages 35 to 80 years presented with acute myocardial infarction were included in this study. Patients detailed medical history including age, sex and residence were recorded. Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score was calculated for each patient. Follow up was taken during the hospital stay and after discharge. Complications were recorded on follow-up. Data was analyzed by SPSS 21.0. Results: From all the patients high TIMI score was found in 34.48% patients. Out of 100 patients 70% were male and 30% were females with mean age 54.25+12.65 years. According to the high TIMI score 100 (34.48%) patients had score above 8 and 190 (65.52%) had score less than 8. Complications were recorded ad Ventricular fibrillation, VT, AF, Heart block, cardiogenic shock and pulmonary edema in 17%, 13%, 2%, 7%, 24% and 24% patients respectively.15% patients were died during hospital stay. 28% patients had post infarct angina, 9% patients had stroke and 28% patients treated revascularization. Conclusion: We concluded from this study that frequency of high TIMI score is high in our setting and we patients with increase score had high risk of complications and mortality.

Rehman et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (n=290). High TIMI risk score (>8) vs. TIMI risk score <8 was evaluated on In-hospital mortality among patients with high TIMI score (>8). A high TIMI risk score (>8) was present in 34.5% of patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction, and was associated with severe in-hospital complications including a 15% mortality rate.
