Shock Index as a predictor for In-hospital mortality in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Shock index (SI), a ratio of heart rate/systolic blood pressure, has been reported to predict increased mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. However, the prognostic value of SI has not been fully elucidated in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). ⋯ Elevated SI was associated with higher in-hospital mortality in patients with NSTEMI.
