Case 1 • 46 year old woman • Family history of ischaemic heart disease, hypertension, smoker and hypercholesterolaemia • No prior history of angina • 3 episodes of chest pain 12 hours prior to admission • Already taking aspirin and statin on admission • ECG normal • Troponin I 1.2 µg/L
Case 1 Commenced on medical therapy and settles Would you manage the patient with: (a). In-patient coronary angiography and revascularise (b). Conservative treatment and consider angiography/revascularisation if symptoms recur
Case 2 • 79 year old man • Non-smoker, hypertension and no risk factors • Chronic stable angina for 15 years with known single vessel disease (angiogram 10 years ago) • One episode of rest pain prior to admission • Not taking aspirin • ECG - minor ST depression on admission • Troponin I <0.1 µg/L
Case 2 Commenced on medical therapy and settles Would you manage the patient with: (a). In-patient coronary angiography and revascularise (b). Conservative treatment and consider angiography/revascularisation if symptoms recur
TIMI Risk Score • Age ≥ 65 years • ≥3 Risk factors for coronary artery disease • Significant coronary stenosis • ST Segment deviation • Severe anginal symptoms (≥2 anginal events in last 24 hours) • Prior aspirin use (within last 7 days) • Elevated serum cardiac markers Antman et al.

GRACE Registry • Robust data on in-hospital & 6-month outcomes in over 12,000 patients in 14 different countries • In well-characterized patients with ACS: • In-hospital to 6 month rates of: • death: ST-MI 12%, Non-ST-MI 13%, UA 8% • Stroke: 1.5 to 3% • Recurrent hospitalization for cardiac event: 17 to 20% • Unselected patients reveal substantially higher event rates than those entered into recent trials • A major challenge exists in the application of proven therapies to the full spectrum of patients with ACS

Outcome of “low-risk” patients with ACS Presentation with UA in the absence of dynamic ECG changes, no troponin elevation, no arrhythmia nor hypotension 6 month outcome: • 16.6% readmission • 8.7% revascularised • 2.2% deaths • 0.2% MI “Low-risk” is not no risk

Conclusions • Risk scores need to be carefully applied • Risk scores may be population dependent and not reflect ‘true life’ populations • Low risk is not no risk • High risk does not equate to most benefit from intervention • Is the benefit of interventional strategies for acute coronary syndromes derived from revascularising patients with prior stable angina and prognostically significant disease?
