Do clinical features and routine non-invasive test parameters predict adverse coronary events in patients with stable angina?
A simple clinical model combining history (prior MI/CABG) with routine non-invasive tests (ECG, echocardiography, exercise testing) can effectively predict the 2-year probability of adverse coronary events in patients with stable angina.
