The PROMISE Minimal Risk Score Improves Risk Classification of Symptomatic Patients With Suspected CAD

Abstract

For evaluating patients with suspected CAD, a combined use of traditional PTP and the PMRS correctly down-classified one-third of >5% to 15% PTP patients into a group with very low prevalence of obstructive CAD and adverse events. The proposed strategy may improve risk stratification and help reduce unneeded diagnostic testing.
