PG - 393-402 AB - CHADS(2) and CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scores are widely used in clinical practice and include similar risk factors for the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). It is known that the factors comprising the newly defined CHA(2)DS(2)-VASC-HSF score promote atherosclerosis and associated with severity of CAD. Objective of the study was to find out the association of the CHA(2)DS(2)-VASC-HSF score with the severity of CAD in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). One hundred (100) patients with STEMI were enrolled in this study after considering inclusion and exclusion criteria over a one year period from October, 2017 to September, 2018 in the Department of Cardiology, National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Coronary angiogram was done within index hospitalization and coronary artery disease severity was assessed by SYNTAX score system. Patients were divided into two groups on the basis of SYNTAX score. Patients with SYNTAX score >/=23 assigned as Group I and SYNTAX score <23 assigned as Group II. The CHA(2)DS(2)-VASC-HSF score was calculated. Cut-off value of high CHA(2)DS(2)-VASC-HSF score was >/=4.0. In this study mean age of study population was 51.8+/-9.8, male patients were predominant (79.0%). Among the studied patients, highest percentage had history of smoking followed by hypertension, diabetes mellitus and family history of CAD in Group I patients. It was found that DM and family history of CAD and history of stroke/TIA were significantly higher in Group I than Group II. An increasing trend of SYNTAX score was observed according to the CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc-HSF score. SYNTAX score was significantly higher in CHA2DS2-VASc-HSF score >/=4 than CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc-HSF score <4 (26.3+/-6.3 vs. 12.1+/-7.7, p<0.001). Patients with CHA(2)DS(2)-VASC-HSF score >/=4 had severe coronary artery disease than CHA(2)DS(2)-VASC-HSF score <4 assessed by SYNTAX score with 84.4% sensitivity and 81.9% specificity (AUC:0.83, 95% CI: 0.746-0.915, p<0.001). CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc-HSF score was positively correlated with the severity of CAD. This score could be considered as a predictor of coronary artery disease severity.
