Women that develop a particular type of heart attack, ie non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS; accounting for roughly three quarters of heart attacks in females) are at high mortality risk, both in-hospital as well as post-discharge. The GRACE score is the most established tool to predict this risk, yet has shown sex-specific underperformance in women as compared to men, as comprehensively reported in the original article published by Florian A. Wenzl and Simon Kraler et al. in The Lancet. In a more recent report of the Swiss Medical Journal, Prof. Olivier Müller comments on possible clinical implications of their newly developed GRACE 3.0 score.
