The PAAINESD Score, developed to predict the risk of periprocedural hemodynamic decompensation

Variable	Points
Pulmonary disease (COPD)	5
Age >60	3
General anesthesia	4
Ischemic cardiomyopathy	6
NYHA class III/IV	6
EF <25%	3
VT storm	5
Diabetes mellitus	3

The PAAINESD Score, developed to predict the risk of periprocedural hemodynamic decompensation, has values that range from 0 to 35 points (or 0 to 31 [PAINESD] when the modifiable intraprocedural variable “general anesthesia” is excluded) (S5.1.3.2).

COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; EF = ejection fraction; NYHA = New York Heart Association; VT = ventricular tachycardia.
