Deep learning-based medical image segmentation and surface mesh generation typically involve a sequential pipeline from image to segmentation to meshes, often requiring large training datasets while making limited use of prior geometric knowledge. Th...
PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (AI) in detecting coronary artery stenosis and calcified plaque on CT angiography (CTA), comparing its diagnostic performance with that of radiologists.
Chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention has evolved into a subspecialty of interventional cardiology. Using a variety of antegrade and retrograde techniques, experienced operators currently achieve success rates of 85% to 90%, with...
The coronary angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) curve, referred to as the Angio-FFR curve, is crucial for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The invasive FFR is the diagnostic gold standard for determining functional sig...
CTOs are frequently encountered in patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography. Even though technical progress in CTO-PCI and enhanced skills of dedicated operators have led to substantial procedural improvement, the success of the intervention...

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...
