The MACS score chart shows promise for early risk stratification of patients with suspected CMI based on a near-perfect NPV. It is complementary to the CTA-based score chart by van Dijk et al., which showed excellent external validity and is well suited to guide subsequent (invasive) treatment decisions in patients with suspected CMI.
