BACKGROUND: With an increasing interest in using large claims databases in medical practice and research, it is a meaningful and essential step to efficiently identify patients with the disease of interest.
BACKGROUND: In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-23 is suspected to cause death or cardiovascular disease by inducing left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).
BACKGROUND: The electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most common diagnostic tools available to assess cardio-vascular health. The advent of advanced computational techniques such as deep learning has dramatically expanded the breadth of clinical pro...
BACKGROUND: Cine images during coronary angiography contain a wealth of information besides the assessment of coronary stenosis. We hypothesized that deep learning (DL) can discern moderate-severe left ventricular dysfunction among patients undergoin...
BACKGROUND: Traditional methods of risk assessment for thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) based on aneurysm size alone have been called into question as being unreliable in predicting complications. Biomechanical function of aortic tissue may be a better...
