ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the usefulness of the SYNTAX score (SS) in predicting 1-year clinical outcomes in a population of patients with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).BACKGROUND:
Despite the proven prognostic value of the SS in patients with multivessel and/or left main (LM) CAD, its usefulness in other patient subsets remains uncertain.METHODS:
This was a prospective single centre cohort study conducted from September 2012 to November 2014 at the Nicosia General Hospital, Cyprus. Patients (n=140; 94% men and 6% women) with chronic CAD undergoing revascularization with either PCI or CABG were evaluated.RESULTS:
At 1-year, angina occurred in 20 patients (14.3%), myocardial infarction (MI) in 3 patients (2.1%), repeat revascularization procedures in 9 patients (6.4%) and death in 12 patients (8.6%). The SS independently predicted angina (p=0.024) but was not predictive of MI (p=0.964), death (p=0.292) or repeat revascularization (p=0.069).CONCLUSION:
In this patient population, the SS predicted angina in the year following revascularization but was not predictive of MI, death or repeat revascularization.
