Introduction

SYNTAX score is a valuable angiographic score which is based on coronary lesion anatomy; clinical factors are not taken into account during its calculation. The validated Texas Heart PCI score is clinically oriented. In this study we sought to evaluate the correlation of clinical variables and overall Texas Heart PCI score (THI) with the SYNTAX score, which may supplement the score during selection for PCI or CABG.

Methods

SYNTAX score was determined in 211 consecutive patients who underwent PCI and had complete THI score. Patients were grouped into tertiles of low, intermediate, and high SYNTAX scores. THI score and clinical variables were examined for their relationship with SYNTAX score by correlation and regression analyses.
