Arguments

age

Input integer value to indicate the age of the patient.

sex

  • nonanginal stands for the patient having nonanginal or non-specific chest pain.

  • dyspnoea stands for the patient having dyspnoea.

Value

A numeric value representing the patient's PTP for obstructive CAD based on the 2019 Reeh et. al. basic model.

Details

The predictive model is based on 3903 patients free of CAD and heart failure and suspected of angina, who were referred to a single, large, urban university hospital for assessment in 2012–15.

Examples

# 40 year old female with typical chest pain
