MEESSI-AHF Score Calculator

  • Age (years)
  • Systolic Blood Pressure (mmHg)
  • Heart Rate (bpm)
  • Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN, mg/dL)
  • Serum Creatinine (mg/dL)
  • Troponin (0 = Normal, 1 = Elevated)
  • BNP / NT-proBNP elevated? (0 = No, 1 = Yes)
  • History of Chronic Heart Failure? (0 = No, 1 = Yes)
  • MEESSI-AHF Score: Explanation and Clinical Context
    MEESSI-AHF Score is a validated risk stratification tool for patients admitted with acute heart failure.
    It predicts in-hospital and 30-day post-discharge mortality using variables readily available at hospital admission, including age, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, renal function (BUN, creatinine), cardiac biomarkers (troponin, BNP/NT-proBNP), and prior heart failure history.
    The total score stratifies patients into low, intermediate, high, or very high risk categories, guiding clinical decision-making for monitoring intensity, therapeutic interventions, and discharge planning.
