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.
