A population‐based evaluation of the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction risk score for unstable angina and non‐ST elevation myocardial infarction

Abstract

The TIMI-RS successfully differentiates early risk for major adverse cardiac events in a general population presenting with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome. A simple bedside calculation of the TIMI-RS provides rapid risk stratification, allowing facilitation of therapeutic decision making in patients with symptoms suggestive of ACS.
