Short-term and long-term validation of the fastest score in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction after primary angioplasty.

Highlights • A predicted prognosis for patients with STEMI is considered to be a necessary instrument for stratifying risk for these patients • The FASTEST risk score was validated and can be used in patients with STEMI • The FASTEST appears to perform well in identifying low-risk STEMI patients who could be safely discharged within 72 h of admission • FASTEST added prognostic value over GRACE and ZWOLLE score in STEMI patients.
