  • Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF, %)
  • ACEF Score: Explanation and Clinical Context
    The ACEF Score (Age, Creatinine, and Ejection Fraction) is a simple, validated risk prediction tool for short-term mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery or coronary interventions.
    It is calculated using the formula: ACEF = Age / LVEF + 1 (if serum creatinine > 2 mg/dL).
    Higher scores indicate higher risk of adverse outcomes.
    It is particularly useful in preoperative risk stratification and guiding clinical decision-making in high-risk cardiovascular patients.
