Wells criteria for acute PE + scoring
|
Symptoms of DVT (3 points)
No alternative diagnosis better explains the illness (3 points) Tachycardia with pulse >100 (1.5 points) Immobilization (>=3 days) or surgery in the previous four weeks (1.5 points) Prior history of DVT or pulmonary embolism (1.5 points) Presence of hemoptysis (1 point) Presence of malignancy (1 point) Probability of PE: >6 pts = high; 2-6 pts = moderate; <2 pts = low |
|
|
Items in TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) for unstable angina/NSTEMI + scoring
|
Age ≥65 years
Presence of at least three risk factors for CHD (HTN, DM, dyslipidemia, smoking, or +Fam Hx of early MI) Prior coronary stenosis of ≥50 percent Presence of ST segment deviation on admission ECG At least two anginal episodes in prior 24 hours Elevated serum cardiac biomarkers Use of aspirin in prior seven days (probably a marker for more severe coronary disease) 0-2 pts = low risk; 3-4 = intermediate risk; 5-7 = high risk |
|
|
CHADS2 for score in atrial fibrillation for stroke risk
|
Cardiac (congestive or otherwise) failure, past or current (1 point)
Hypertension, treated or untreated (1 point) Age >=75 years (1 point) Diabetes Mellitus (1 point) Secondary prevention in patients with prior ischemic stroke, TIA or thromboembolism (2 points) |

CHADS2 scoring
|
Stroke risk per 100 person-years
0 Points: 0.25 ON Rx; 0.49 NO Rx 1 Point: 0.72 ON Rx; 1.52 NO Rx 2 Points: 1.27 ON Rx; 2.50 No Rx 3 Points: 2.20 ON Rx; 5.27 NO Rx 4 Points: 2.35 ON Rx; 6.02 NO Rx 5-6 Points: 4.60 ON Rx; 6.88 NO Rx |

Sgarbossa criteria: what do they tell us?
Give criteria |
EKG diagnosis of acute MI in the presence of LBBB.
ST segment elevation of 1 mm or more that was in the same direction (concordant) as the QRS complex in any lead — score 5. ST segment depression of 1 mm or more in any lead from V1 to V3 — score 3. ST segment elevation of 5 mm or more that was discordant with the QRS complex (ie, associated with a QS or rS complex) — score 2. Score of 3 = specificity = 0.90 for acute infarction |
