Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: We aimed to identify a blood-based gene expression score (GES) to predict the severity of coronary artery stenosis in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) by integrative use of gene network construction, Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm, and multi-cohort validation.
