Does a treadmill exercise score improve prognostic prediction compared to clinical assessment in outpatients with suspected coronary artery disease?
The treadmill exercise score provides superior prognostic value compared to clinical assessment alone for outpatients with suspected CAD, aiding in catheterization referral decisions.
The treadmill score is a useful and valid tool that can help clinicians determine prognosis and decide whether to refer outpatients with suspected coronary disease for cardiac catheterization. In this study, it was a better predictor of outcome than the clinical assessment.
