AIM: Risk stratification in patients with angiographically confirmed coronary artery disease (CAD) could be made more precise. Since it is very difficult to determine which risk factors best predict clinical endpoints, a gentle design of risk stratification model with multiple risk factors may develop prognosis in CAD patients. There is no study with a high level of evidence including multiple risk factors to evaluate the prognostic role of different factors in acute coronary syndrome. This study aimed at determining the importance of different prognostic factors for clinical endpoints in CAD patients
METHODS: A prospective concurrent inception cohort study consisting of 521documented CAD patients 184 of whom were exposed participants who were angiographically documented CAD patients with ABI
Key words: Risk stratification, acute coronary syndrome, ankle brachial index, lipid measures, lipid ratios Article Language: Turkish English
