Brief Summary
This prospective observational study will evaluate and compare the sensitivity and specificity of the Modified TIMI, HEART and SACS Scores for accurately predicting the presence and absence of obstructive coronary artery disease (OCAD) as diagnosed during coronary angiography in the cardiac catheterization suite. In addition, we plan to determine if a variant of SACS, HEART, TIMI, or a hybrid score resulting from combining formulas from two or all three scores yields a new tool that exceeds the predictive performance of all three current models for determining the absence or presence of OCAD.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Angiographic Findings of Cardiac Catheterization
Interventional Cardiologist's Diagnosis resulting from coronary angiography during Cardiac Catheterization - will determine which one of the following SECONDARY OUTCOME categories the patient is placed in:
30 days from enrollment
Secondary Outcomes (5)
No CAD noted - no coronary interventions indicated
30 days from study enrollment
Mild-moderate CAD noted - no coronary artery interventions are indicated
30 days from study enrollment
Obstructive CAD present, no myocardial injury, immediate intervention is indicated
30 days from study enrollment
Obstructive CAD present with myocardial infarction/ injury
30 days from study enrollment
No Obstructive CAD present but myocardial damage is evident
30 days from study enrollment
Study Arms (2)
STEMI / NSTEMI
All patients (100%) admitted to the participating hospitals during the study period with the diagnosis of Acute ST Segment Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) or Non-ST Segment Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) will be selected for inclusion in the study. In order to assure rapid door-to-reperfusion times, Study Investigators will obtain consent and interview these patients AFTER cardiac catheterization and intervention. A minimum number of 25 STEMI and 25 NSTEMI patients will be enrolled in the study.
Elective / Non-emergent Cardiac Cath
This group will include both admitted and outpatients, with possible diagnoses of Unstable Angina (UA), Low Risk Chest Pain (LRCP), and those having cardiac catheterization for any other reason (eg: elective, medical clearance for surgery, failed stress test, etc.). To maintain integrity of the study, these patients will be randomly selected, with written consent obtained, prior to cardiac catheterization.
Eligibility Criteria
All patients selected in this study will be patients who are having URGENT (Group 1) or NON-URGENT (Group 2) cardiac catheterization performed: Group 1: All (100%) of STEMI / Non-STEMI patients presenting for cardiac catheterization during the study period, with a minumum number of 25 STEMI and 25 NSTEMI patients to be included. Group 2: Non-urgent cardiac catheterization patients will be randomly selected, with consents obtained, PRIOR TO elective cardiac catheterization.
You may qualify if:
- Any patient presenting to the Cardiac Catheterization Lab during the study period.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients who refuse / wish to not be included in the study,
- Patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome with visible Delta waves on the ECG.
- Patients with Renal Failure and abnormally elevated Creatinine \>2.0
- Patients with Potassium values \>6.0
