Performance of the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Guideline‐Recommended Pretest Probability Model for the Diagnosis of Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Substantial differences exist between different guideline‐recommended pretest probability (PTP) models for the detection of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). This study was performed to study the performance of the 2021 American Heart

Comparison of NICE and ESC strategy for risk assessment in women with stable chest pain: a coronary computed tomography angiography study [PDF]

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Background: For women presenting with stable chest pain (SCP), the appropriate risk assessment strategy to identify individuals unlikely to benefit from further cardiovascular imaging testing (CIT) is debatable.

Pre-test probability for SARS-Cov-2-related infection score: The PARIS score.

PLoS ONE, 2020
IntroductionIn numerous countries, large population testing is impossible due to the limited availability of RT-PCR kits and CT-scans. This study aimed to determine a pre-test probability score for SARS-CoV-2 infection.MethodsThis multicenter ...

Evaluating the Coronary Artery Disease Consortium Model and the Coronary Artery Calcium Score in Predicting Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease in a Symptomatic Mixed Asian Cohort

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background The utility of a given pretest probability score in predicting obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is population dependent. Previous studies investigating the additive value of coronary artery calcium (CAC) on pretest probability scores ...
