The recent technological developments in the field of cardiac imaging have established coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) as a first-line diagnostic tool in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). CCTA offers robust inform...
BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) is able to extract patterns and develop algorithms to construct data-driven models. We use ML models to gain insight into the relative importance of variables to predict obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) usin...
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the impact of machine learning (ML)-based fractional flow reserve derived from computed tomography (FFR) compared to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) for therapeutic decision-making and patient outcome in patien...
