متن کاملValidation of a Novel Clinical Prediction Score for Severe Coronary Artery Diseases before Elective Coronary Angiography
OBJECTIVES Coronary artery disease (CAD) severity is associated with patient prognosis. However, few efficient scoring systems have been developed to screen severe CAD in patients with stable angina and suspected CAD before coronary angiography. Here, we present a novel scoring system for CAD severity before elective coronary angiography. METHODS Five hundred fifty-one patients with stable an...
