Development and Prospective Validation of a Clinical Index to Predict Survival in Ambulatory Patients Referred for Cardiac Transplant Evaluation

Read Full Paperexternally

Key Points

The aim is to create a predictive model that helps assess survival chances for patients considered for cardiac transplantation.
Developed a noninvasive risk-stratification index for cardiac transplant evaluation.
Validated the index in a prospective cohort of ambulatory patients.
The risk-stratification model improved candidate selection for cardiac transplantation.

Abstract

Selection of candidates for cardiac transplantation may be improved by use of this noninvasive risk-stratification model.
