Response To: “Prognosis Versus Diagnosis and Test Accuracy Versus Risk Estimation: Exploring the Clinical Application of the HEART Score”

Abstract

The authors thank Dr. XYZ and colleagues for an insightful response to our recent meta‐analysis on the prognostic accuracy of the HEART score for prediction of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients presenting with chest pain [1]. The authors make excellent points related to the evaluation of prognostic scores, particularly as it relates to clinical decision‐making. We feel that their editorial does highlight important complementary discussion points to our article.
