Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a prevalent cardiovascular condition with profound health implications. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) remains the gold standard for diagnosing vascular disease, but its invasiveness and procedural demands unde...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of ill health and death worldwide. Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) is the first-line investigation to detect CAD in symptomatic patients. This diagnostic approach risks greater second-li...
Anomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery (AAOCA) is a rare cardiac condition that can lead to ischemia or sudden cardiac death, yet it is often overlooked or falsely classified in routine coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Here, we developed, vali...
BACKGROUND: Coronary plaque features are imaging biomarkers of cardiovascular risk, but less is known about sex-specific patterns in their prognostic value. This study aimed to define sex differences in the coronary atherosclerotic phenotypes assesse...
This pilot study evaluates an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted electrocardiography (ECG) analysis system, QCG, to enhance urgent coronary angiography (CAG) decision-making for acute chest pain in the emergency department (ED). We retrospectively...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) and subtotal occlusion (STO) pose diagnostic challenges, differing in treatment strategies. Artificial intelligence and radiomics are promising tools for accurate discrimination. This s...
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is becoming a leading cause of death worldwide. To assess coronary artery narrowing or stenosis, doctors use coronary angiography, which is considered the gold-standard method. Interventional cardiologists rely on angiogr...
BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are considered the primary population at risk for post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI), yet there are few predictive tools specifically designed for this vulnerable population.
PURPOSE: Myocardial computed tomography (CT) late enhancement (LE) allows assessment of myocardial scarring. Super-resolution deep learning image reconstruction (SR-DLR) trained on data acquired from ultra-high-resolution CT may improve image quality...
Quantifying aortic valve calcification is critical for assessing the severity of aortic stenosis, predicting cardiovascular risk, and guiding treatment decisions. This study evaluated the feasibility of a deep learning-based automatic quantification ...
