Latest AI and machine learning research in atherosclerosis for healthcare professionals.
Coronary CT angiography is widely implemented, with an estimated 2.2 million procedures in patients with stable chest pain every year in Europe alone. In parallel, artificial intelligence and machine learning are poised to transform coronary atherosclerotic plaque evaluation by improving reliability and speed. However, little is known about how to use coronary atherosclerosis imaging biomarkers to...
BACKGROUND: Closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is an effective strategy in the prevention of recurrent stroke after cryptogenic stroke. Residual shunt (RS) is a common issue following PFO closure and may affect safety and efficacy. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the key diagnostic tool, but standardized assessment of morphological parameters to prevent RS remains challenging. AIMS:...
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a progressive microvascular complication of diabetes and a leading cause of vision impairment worldwide. Despite advancem...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review summarizes the role of incidentally and non-incidentally discovered coronary artery calcification (CAC) and the evolvin...
Skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) is a fatal form of skin cancer. Metabolism-related genes (MRGs) comprise a group of genes that possess the ability to m...
An underlying association between primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and COVID-19 has been hypothesized, but the causal link and shared mechanisms rem...
Excess reactive oxygen species leading to oxidative stress has been identified as a significant factor in cardiovascular disease. However, the molecul...
The increasing demand for natural medicine has increased the significance of Silybum marianum as a valuable medicinal plant. It is used to restore liv...
The mechanisms underlying mitophagy and mitochondrial dynamics (MD) in cervical cancer (CC), a disease with a high mortality rate, remain poorly under...
Survivors of severe COVID-19 often suffer from long-term respiratory issues, but the molecular drivers of this damage remain unclear. This study explo...
OBJECTIVES: To describe the technical details of a new and innovative method for modifying endografts to treat complex aortic aneurysms, especially in...
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare occlusive cerebrovascular disease, and its pathological mechanism remains unclear at present. The abnormal vascular r...
Small intracranial aneurysms (SIAs) (< 5 mm) are increasingly detected due to advanced imaging, but predicting rupture risk remains challenging. Ruptu...
Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (H-I) brain injury, a leading cause of neurodevelopmental disabilities, severely affects the metabolically active and neurog...
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) provides robust prediction for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), but current techniques disr...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a highly heterogeneous condition characterized by diverse pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations....
BACKGROUND: Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is a slowly progressing form of diabetes with autoimmune origins. Patients with LADA are at an...
Cardiometabolic Multimorbidity (CMM) has emerged as one of the primary threats to human health globally due to its high incidence, disability, and mor...
Respiratory and cardiovascular diseases represent a significant global health burden, underscoring the need for innovative, accessible, and cost-effec...
