ABSTRACT: Background
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE) risk scores were independently used to predict adverse outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the relationship between MPO level and GRACE score, and whether the combination of MPO and GRACE can better predict major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with acute non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), have not been previously investigated.Methods
A prospective cohort of 271 consecutive patients with NSTEMI were enrolled in this study. Plasma MPO levels were measured by ELISA. Baseline demographic and clinical information was collected, and GRACE scores were calculated at admission. The correlation between MPO and MACEs was evaluated
