To set up a prognostic score including clinical data and stress echocardiographic findings, the data of 3,969 patients who underwent dipyridamole stress were analyzed. Age (hazard ratio [HR] 3.21), peak wall motion score index (HR 2.62), diabetes mellitus (HR 2.36), and male gender (HR 1.69) were independent predictors of mortality and were incorporated into a prognostic score allowing us to estimate 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival in the patient cohort. The multiparametric risk score, immediately available at the bedside, can be used to predict the survival of patients undergoing dipyridamole stress echocardiography.

Abstract
To set up a prognostic score including clinical data and stress echocardiographic findings, the data of 3,969 patients who underwent dipyridamole stress were analyzed. Age (hazard ratio [HR] 3.21), peak wall motion score index (HR 2.62), diabetes mellitus (HR 2.36), and male gender (HR 1.69) were independent predictors of mortality and were incorporated into a prognostic score allowing us to estimate 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival in the patient cohort. The multiparametric risk score, immediately available at the bedside, can be used to predict the survival of patients undergoing dipyridamole stress echocardiography.File in questo prodotto:
