Individuals admitted with non ST elevation MI have a wide variation in their disease severity, which ranges according to clinical and laboratory characteristics1. Thus risk stratification is essential for adequate clinical decision and identifying individuals who benefit from more aggressive therapy. TIMI risk score is the most widely used scoring system for risk stratification because of ease of using this system over others and is much more powerful comparing to other systems.
