The Konishi equation yielded better predictions of the SDC, especially in the subgroup of HFrEF patients. Furthermore, the prediction of SDCs in the over the therapeutic range using this equation was superior to that of the Koup and Jusko equation. With further validation in a larger population, this equation should facilitate the detection of patients who are over the therapeutic range in clinical practice.
