Left ventricular ejection fraction to predict early mortality in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes.

Am. Heart J.. 2005 Aug;150(2):215-20, PMID: 16086920

Improvement in risk stratification of patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a gateway to a more judicious treatment. This study examines whether the routine determination of left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) adds significant prognostic information to currently recommended stratifiers.
