Figure The bar chart describes the distribution of (left axis) troponin positive (white bars) and troponin negative (black bars) patients according to category of GRACE risk score (ranging from <51 to >226) among 27,406 patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes in the GRACE registry. The black curve (right axis) depicts the observed hospital mortality rates. The American Journal of Medicine 2009 122, 107-108DOI: (10.1016/j.amjmed.2008.07.029) Copyright © 2009 Elsevier Inc.
