Validation of Simple Acute Coronary Syndrome (SACS) Score

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Chest Pain, Acute Coronary Syndrome, Angina, Myocardial Infarction

In brief

This prospective observational study will evaluate and compare the sensitivity and specificity of the Modified TIMI, HEART and SACS Scores for accurately predicting the presence and absence of obstructive coronary artery disease (OCAD) as diagnosed during coronary angiography in the cardiac catheterization suite. In addition, we plan to determine if a variant of SACS, HEART, TIMI, or a hybrid score resulting from combining formulas from two or all three scores yields a new tool that exceeds the predictive performance of all three current models for determining the absence or presence of OCAD.
