Canada ACS (C-ACS) Risk Score

Canada ACS (C-ACS) risk score (Huynh 2013): age ≥ 75, Killip > 1, systolic BP < 100, and heart rate > 100 give a 0–4 score where a rising total marks higher in-hospital mortality across the acute-coronary-syndrome spectrum.

Example

Age ≥ 75 years
Yes
Killip class > 1
No
Systolic BP < 100 mmHg
Yes
Heart rate > 100 bpm
No

Result: C-ACS 2 — intermediate in-hospital mortality risk.

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

0
Lowest in-hospital mortality across the ACS spectrum.
1-2
Intermediate in-hospital mortality risk.
3-4
High in-hospital mortality. Age >= 75, Killip > 1, SBP < 100, HR > 100. A risk score, not a treatment order.

What you enter

  • Age ≥ 75 years (+1)
  • Killip class > 1 (+1)
  • Systolic BP < 100 mmHg (+1)
  • Heart rate > 100 bpm (+1)
