Background Rapid, effective triage is integral to emergency cardiac care of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Available models for predicting mortality in STEMI include up to 45 variables, but have consistently shown advanced age, Increased heart rate, and decreased blood pressure to be among the strongest predictors.Methods On the basis of observed risk relations among 13 253 patients with STEMI from the InTIME II trial, we developed and assessed a simple risk index using age, heart rate, and systolic blood pressure (SBP) for predicting mortality over 30 days: (heart rate X [age/10](2))/SBP.Findings The risk index was a strong (c statistic=0.78) and independent predictor of mortality risk (p
