Routinely available biomarkers improve prediction of long-term mortality in stable coronary artery disease: the Vienna and Ludwigshafen Coronary Artery Disease (VILCAD) risk score

Abstract

The VILCAD score based on a routinely available set of risk factors, measures of cardiac function, and comorbidities outperforms established risk prediction algorithms and might improve the identification of high-risk patients for a more intensive treatment.
