Risk score for predicting death, myocardial infarction, and stroke in patients with stable angina, based on a large randomised trial cohort of patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To derive a risk score for the combination of death from all causes, myocardial infarction, and disabling stroke in patients with stable symptomatic angina who require treatment for angina and have preserved left ventricular function.

Design

Multivariate Cox regression analysis of data from a large multicentre trial.

Outpatient cardiology clinics in western Europe, Israel, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Participants

7311 patients with all required data available.
