Abstract

Around the world, coronary artery disease is a major source of morbidity and mortality. The coronary artery disease population is estimated to have increased from 9 million in 1990 to 19 million by 2020. Nurses are the major workforce working in emergencies and need a method for early risk stratification of patients. Objective: To find a Correlation between SVEAT score and angiography score to find the relationship between the diagnostic accuracies of both methods in assessing coronary artery disease. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study design involving 118 subjects undergoing both angiography and SVEAT score assessment. Samples from the Tertiary Cardiac Care Center's Emergency Reception were chosen using a convenient sampling technique. Data were collected between the period of January 2024 to April 2024. The frequency and percentages of participants categorized by risk levels were calculated. A Spearman correlation was calculated between the SVEAT score and the angiography score. Results: The demographic profile of 118 participants showed that the study included n=88 (74.6%) male and n=30 (25.4%) female. SVEAT score categorizes 44.9% of participants as low risk and safe to discharge and similarly, Angiography categorizes 46.6%. A Spearman correlation between the SVEAT score and angiography (0.790, sig. 0.000) indicated a significant positive association. Conclusion: It was concluded that similar to angiography, the SVEAT score is a useful non-invasive method that nurses can use for identifying early risk of coronary artery disease.
