BACKGROUND & AIMS: Overweight and obesity increase cardiovascular mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In a recent trial, however, diet-induced weight loss did not reduce the cardiovascular risk of patients with T2D, possibly due to the ...
Mendelian randomization (MR) enables the estimation of causal effects while controlling for unmeasured confounding factors. However, traditional MR's reliance on strong parametric assumptions can introduce bias if these are violated. We describe a ma...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Identification of individuals affected by familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is suboptimal when genetic tests are unavailable. Relying only on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is challenging as it may not allow distin...
OBJECTIVE: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) has been commonly calculated by equations, but their performance has not been entirely satisfactory. This study aimed to develop a more accurate LDL-C prediction model using machine learning meth...

OBJECTIVES: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the most important treatments for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, in-stent restenosis (ISR) after PCI is a serious complication without effective measures for prevention and treat...
OBJECTIVE: We aim to prospectively validate a previously developed machine learning algorithm for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) estimation.
OBJECTIVE: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) can be estimated using the Friedewald and Martin-Hopkins formulas. We developed LDL-C prediction models using multiple machine learning methods and investigated the validity of the new models alo...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is one of the most frequent diseases with monogenic inheritance. Previous data indicated that the heterozygous form occurred in 1:250 people. Based on these reports, around 36,000-40,000 people ...
