BACKGROUND: Identifying people at risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is a cornerstone of preventative cardiology. Risk prediction models currently recommended by clinical guidelines are typically based on a limited number of predictors with sub-op...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Patients with End- Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) have a unique cardiovascular risk. This study aims at predicting, with a certain precision, death and cardiovascular diseases in dialysis patients.
Heart and circulatory diseases cause a quarter of all deaths in the UK and cardiac imaging offers an effective tool for early diagnosis and risk-stratification to improve premature death and disability. This domain of radiology is unique in that asse...

BACKGROUND: The All Patient-Refined Diagnosis-Related Groups (APR-DRGs) system has adjusted the basic DRG structure by incorporating four severity of illness (SOI) levels, which are used for determining hospital payment. A comprehensive report of all...
This work reports a multilead interval measurement algorithm for a high-resolution digital electrocardiograph. The software enables off-line ECG processing including detection as well as an accurate multilead interval detection algorithm using sup...
The aim of this study is to compare some machine learning methods with traditional statistical parametric analyses using logistic regression to investigate the relationship of risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular (cardiometabolic risk) for U...
BACKGROUND: Prevention and management of chronic diseases are the main goals of national health maintenance programs. Previously widely used screening tools, such as Health Risk Appraisal, are restricted in their achievement this goal due to their li...
Current approaches to predicting a cardiovascular disease (CVD) event rely on conventional risk factors and cross-sectional data. In this study, we applied machine learning and deep learning models to 10-year CVD event prediction by using longitudina...
