Cardiovascular Risk Score (SCORE2) Predicts the Incidence and Severity of Cardiac Damage after Polytrauma – How to Identify At-risk Patients?

Key Points

The research aims to assess the relationship between cardiovascular risk and cardiac damage in polytrauma patients.
Analyzed cardiovascular risk using SCORE2 scoring system
Evaluated cardiac damage markers and TTE abnormalities
Examined mortality associated with myocardial infarction history in patients
Significant association found between SCORE2 risk and cardiac damage markers
Patients with a history of myocardial infarction showed increased mortality
TTE abnormalities correlated with the severity of cardiac damage

Abstract

Cardiovascular risk was significantly associated with cardiac damage markers, TTE abnormalities & increased mortality. A history of myocardial infarction was associated with higher mortality in PT-patients with an elevated SCORE2 risk.
