Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of the SYNTAX score II in predicting outcomes for patients with left main and/or 3-vessel coronary artery disease who underwent revascularization.
- Out of 1,112 patients, those with high SYNTAX scores showed significantly higher 30-day and six-year mortality rates compared to those with lower scores, with each unit increase correlating to a higher risk of death.
- The research concluded that SYNTAX score II is a valuable tool for assessing risk in patients with multivessel disease, improving predictions of long-term mortality when combined with standard prognostic factors.
