Prognostic value of SYNTAX score and SYNTAX score II in an ‘all-comers’ population treated with angoplasty

Objectives The SYNTAX score and SYNTAX score II have a high predictive capacity for adverse cardiovascular events. We aimed to demonstrate that both scores were good predictors of long-term adverse outcomes in an ‘all-comers’ population treated with a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods In the study, we included 785 patients who received an angioplasty at our center between January 2011 and December 2012. The patients were distributed in tertiles according to the SYNTAX score and SYNTAX score II values; for the SYNTAX score – low ≤6.5 (n = 225); mid >6.5, 20.5,
