Usefulness of the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction risk index in acute heart failure: a pilot study.

Background: Risk stratification in acute heart failure (AHF) is vital for both physicians and paramedical personals. Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) risk index (TRI) and modified TRI (mTRI) are novel and simple predictive risk indices that have been examined in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Objective: In the current study, we evaluated the relationship among TRI, mTRI, and mortality in patients with AHF.
