Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) represent the most common cause of death in the western world. We retrospectively screened data of non-STEMI patients admitted to the coronary care unit of a tertiary center between March 2015 and March 2016. GRACE score was calculated and patients were classified into low (1 to 108), intermediate (109 to 140) and high risk (>40) groups according to GRACE categories. SYNTAX scores were also calculated. 201 patients (mean age: 63 ± 12 years, 53.7% female) were admitted with a diagnosis of non-STEMI. The mean GRACE score and SYNTAX score of study population were 105 ± 34.1 and 16.9 ± 12. Based on the GRACE score for in-hospital deaths, the SYNTAX score was 14.2 ± 10.1 in the low-risk group, 16.0 ± 13.4 in the intermediators group, and 24 ± 12.2 in high-risk group (ANOVA p<0.0001)...
