Clinical Implementation of a Novel Decision Support Tool in Patients With Ischemic Heart Disease

Summary

The PM-Heart algorithm (PMHeartIHD) is an in-house developed software that predict the survival prognosis for the individual patient hospitalized with ischemic heart disease (IHD) after a coronary arteriography has been performed. The software is intended to be used as a clinical decision support system i.e. the calculated survival prognosis is expected to enhance the quality of the treating physician's therapeutic considerations concerning (minor) adjustments to the patients treatment and follow-up - all within the framework of the current medical guidelines. Thus, the algorithm does not "show the physician specifically what to do", but rather ensures a better knowledgebase for the overall interpretation and choice of management of the patient.
