The EuroSCORE (European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation) II is a validated score to predict operative mortality. The score incorporates patient related factors (e.g. age and certain co-morbidities), cardiac related factors (e.g. angina class and left ventricular function) and surgery related factors (e.g. urgency and type).
