Esculapio J Services Inst Med Sci Jan ;15(3):243-7.

Objective: To find the frequency of patients undergoing PCI with low, mid and high values of ACEF Score and to compare the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among patients with different values of ACEF score. Methods: This cross sectional comparative study was conducted at Cardiology Department Punjab Institute of Cardiology Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan from 01/02/2016 to 30/07/2016. In this study the non-probability purposive sampling technique was used. The Sample size was 170 patients undergoing elective PCI. Results: The mean age of patients was 49.84 +- 14.11 years, male to female ratio was 1.6:1. Low ACEF patients were 25(16.7%), middle ACEF were 29(19.3%) and high ACEF group patients were 96(64%). In this study MACE occur more frequently in patient with high ACEF score as compared to patients with moderate and low ACEF score. Conclusions: There is positive correlation between ACEF score and MACE in patients undergoing elective PCI.
