Pre-test probability estimation of coronary artery disease can be improved by adding an acoustic-based risk score
Adding an acoustic-based CAD-score to the PTP in patients with AHA/ACC defined-PTP > 15 % risk can reduce the number of diagnostic tests by overall 19 %, and 37 % in subgroups, and may support cost-effective clinical decision-making. Moreover, CAD-score may aid risk stratification in patients, particularly with AHA/ACC-PTP ≤ 15 %.
