Objective: The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score has a prognostic significance in patients with myocardial infarction without ST segment elevation (NSTEMI). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the significance of GRACE score at day 1 in predicting the development of in-hospital symptomatic heart failure (IH-HF) in patients presenting with NSTEMI. Material and Methods: Consecutive patients, admitted with NSTEMI between April 2016-May 2017 were evaluated in this prospective cohort study. A total of 179 patients (112 male, the mean age: 65.4±11.2) with left ventricular ejection fraction (LV-EF) <50% and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level >125pg/mL along with Killip Class
