Does a novel clinical prediction score accurately predict severe CAD in angina patients before elective coronary angiography?
A novel clinical prediction score using routine clinical and laboratory parameters can help identify angina patients who should undergo early coronary angiography for severe CAD.
Severe CAD prediction was achieved by analyzing age, sex, AVC, ECG, diabetes status, and lipid levels. Angina patients who achieve high scores using this predicting system should undergo early coronary angiography.
