Cardiologists' discussions about sexuality with patients with chronic coronary artery disease.

abstract：:Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) need to be risk stratified to deliver the most appropriate therapy. The GRACE and TIMI risk scores have penetrated contemporary guidelines with the former most commonly used in clinical practice. However, ACS prediction models need to be re-evaluated in contemporary practice...
