Coronary artery disease risk reclassification using an acoustic-based score in view of the new European Society of Cardiology 2019 guidelines on Chronic Coronary Syndromes

Abstract

In August 2019, ESC published new guidelines on Chronic Coronary Syndromes including a new risk assessment paradigm for estimation of pre-test-probability. The CAD-score is an acoustic-based score for ruling-out of coronary artery disease (CAD). In the current letter to the editor we re-evaluate the re-classification potential the CAD-score in the view of the new guidelines.
