Predicting Coronary Heart Disease Events in Women: A Longitudinal Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS:: Both the MAPMISS PS scores and number of PS were significantly associated with cardiac events, independent of risk factors, suggesting that there are specific PSs that can be easily assessed using the MAPMISS. This instrument could be an important component of a predictive screen to assist clinicians in deciding the course of management for women.
