Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include hospitalized patients with ischemic heart disease who have significant coronary artery lesions identified during coronary angiography.

Probably not a fit

Patients under 18 years of age or those living outside Denmark may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the PM-Heart algorithm, a software designed to predict survival prognosis for patients hospitalized with ischemic heart disease after undergoing coronary arteriography. The algorithm serves as a clinical decision support system, enhancing physicians' therapeutic considerations without dictating specific actions. The study aims to determine if using this algorithm improves patient outcomes and reduces the risk of re-hospitalization compared to standard treatment without the algorithm's input.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this tool could lead to better patient outcomes and reduced hospital readmissions for those with ischemic heart disease.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using decision support tools in clinical settings, suggesting potential for success with this approach.
