The Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Risk Score is a clinical prediction rule that can predict the likelihood of morbidity in patients with unstable angina or NSTEMI.[1]
Calculation
The TIMI risk score is scored as one point for each of the following:
- Age 65 years or older
- At least 3 risk factors for coronary artery disease (family history or coronary heart disease, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, current smoking)
- Prior coronary stenosis of 50% or more
- ST-segment deviation on electrocardiogram at presentation
- At least 2 anginal events in prior 24 hours
- Use of aspirin in prior 7 days
- Elevated serum cardiac markers
Interpretation
The risk of either death, myocardial infarction, or urgent revascularization according to the number of points:[1]
- 0-1 point: 5%
- 2 points: 8%
- 3 points: 13%
- 4 points: 20%
- 5 points: 26%
- 6-7 points: 41%
Among patients with unstable angina or NSTEMI, those with a (TIMI) risk score of 3 or more may benefit from invasive management (PTCA) according to the TACTICS randomized controlled trial.[2]
According to clinical practice guidelines, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is "indicated for patients with UA/NSTEMI who have no serious comorbidity and who have coronary lesions amenable to PCI and any of the high-risk features."[3] High-risk features is later defined at "refractory angina or hemodynamic or electrical instability" or "elevated risk for clinical events" (high Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score).
