BACKGROUND: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease poses a heavy burden on the population's health and health care costs. Identifying apparently healthy individuals at risk of developing cardiovascular diseases using clinical prediction models raises...
BACKGROUND: Kawasaki disease (KD) mainly occurs in children under 5 years old, and the most common complication of KD is coronary artery lesion (CAL). In recent years, the incidence rate of KD has increased year by year worldwide, so it is particular...

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of global mortality, with stroke constituting a significant complication among patients undergoing coronary revascularization procedures, such as percutaneous coronary intervention (PC...
BACKGROUND: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical diagnostics has significantly impacted cardiology by enhancing diagnostic precision and therapeutic strategies. Coronary artery disease continues to be a leading cause of global...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review summarizes the role of incidentally and non-incidentally discovered coronary artery calcification (CAC) and the evolving role of non-coronary artery calcification in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk a...
BACKGROUND: Given the challenges faced during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for heavily calcified lesions, accurately predicting PCI success is crucial for enhancing patient outcomes and optimizing procedural strategies.
BACKGROUND: Coronary angiography remains the gold standard for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD), but its invasive nature limits its applicability for widespread screening. Identifying non-invasive molecular markers could improve CAD classific...
Coronary microvascular disease (CMD), particularly prevalent among women, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, making clinical screening vital for effective management. However, limited publicly available screening-level data hinders...
Currently, plaque segmentation in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images of coronary arteries is primarily carried out manually by physicians, and the accuracy of existing automatic segmentation techniques needs further improvement. To furnish eff...
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is an important method for cardiovascular risk assessment. While artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied to automate CAC scoring in calcium scoring computed tomography (CSCT), its application to...
