Gar²De²Nia:
score is designed to predict highly suspicious probability of significant coronary stenosis in patientswithout proven CAD or those who have already been revascularized.
Background: There are a large number of scores that are used for cardiovascular risk assessment and different onlinecalculators are used to perform it. Risk prediction models provide risk estimates that can assist our decision making andimprove guiding for individual clinical outcomes and personalized preventive care.
Methodology: Gar²De²Nia is an acronym that incorporates following parameters: Gender, Age, Renal impairement,Respiratory disease, Diabetes Melittus, Echo abnormalities, ECG abnormalities, new symptoms, Ischaemia, Atrial fibrillation.The pointing scale was formed (-1 to 2) on the personal interpretation of evidence based data and is applied and designedas web calculator. The established cut-off values for the risk of significant coronary stenosis are 4. For values below 4, theprobability of significant CAD is low, below 0 is very low, equal or greater than 4 significant CAD is high and above 8 is veryhigh.
Conclusion: This original score is to be checked throughout everyday clinical practice. It is easy to use. It can help in decisionmaking in risk stratification and further treatment of the patients who has never been to cardiologist before, those who hasalready been revascularized and are symptomatic again or need any kind of non-cardiac surgery and the patients we havedoubts about what to do next.
