Programming a predictive formula for angina and other risk factors in patients with cardiac diseases undergoing noncardiac operations.
We programmed a formula which predicts the incidence of either myocardial infarction or cardiac death during the postoperative period. The original formula was proposed by Shah et al, based on their own data and analysis. The program is simple and is written in a language called Quick Basic. The use of this program is also simple. Such a program has improved the use of this analysis substantially. The program has been posted on to a few Computer network services as a free software.
