OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the applicability of a machine learning-based low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) estimation method and the influence of the characteristics of the training datasets.
BACKGROUND: Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) is used as a threshold and target for treating dyslipidemia. Although the Friedewald equation is widely used to estimate LDL-C, it has been known to be inaccurate in the case of high triglycerid...
BACKGROUND: LDL-C is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. The formulas used to calculate LDL-C showed varying performance in different populations. Machine learning models can study complex interactions between the variables and can be ...
BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have revealed the relationship between lipid expression and increased cardiovascular risk in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Nevertheless, few investigations have focused on the risk stratific...
BACKGROUND: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a target for cardiovascular prevention. Contemporary equations for LDL-C estimation have limited accuracy in certain scenarios (high triglycerides [TG], very low LDL-C).

Amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis is found in humans and non-human primates, but quantifying disease risk prior to clinical symptoms is challenging. We applied machine learning to identify the best predictors of amyloidosis in rhesus macaques from availabl...

BACKGROUND: LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) has been mainly estimated using the Friedewald equation, and other equations have recently been developed to complement the Friedewald equation. The present study aims to employ a deep neural network (DNN) to impro...

Oxidative stress, inflammation status, endothelial dysfunction, and imbalanced lipid metabolism play a major role in cardiovascular disease. Bioactive compounds and moderate alcohol consumption have been associated with decreased cardiovascular risk....
BACKGROUND: Low plasma proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type-9 (PCSK9) concentration has been associated with loss of function (LOF) PCSK9 mutations in several studies. However, the current standard for detection of these LOF mutations is throu...
