Age, Creatinine, And Ejection Fraction (ACEF) Score In Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Angioplasty And Its Relation With Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE)

Abstract

Objective: To find the frequency of patients undergoing PCI with low, mid and high values of
ACEF Score and to compare the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among patients
with different values of ACEF score.
Methods: This cross sectional comparative study was conducted at Cardiology Department
Punjab Institute of Cardiology Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan from 01/02/2016 to 30/07/2016 . In this
study the non-probability purposive sampling technique was used. The Sample size was 170
patients undergoing elective PCI.
Results: The mean age of patients was 49.84 ± 14.11 years, male to female ratio was 1.6:1. Low
ACEF patients were 25(16.7%), middle ACEF were 29(19.3%) and high ACEF group patients
were 96(64%). In this study MACE occur more frequently in patient with high ACEF score as
compared to patients with moderate and low ACEF score.
Conclusions: There is positive correlation between ACEF score and MACE in patients
undergoing elective PCI.
