A multimodal dataset for coronary microvascular disease biomarker discovery.

Scientific data
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...

A plaque recognition algorithm for coronary OCT images by Dense Atrous Convolution and attention mechanism.

PloS one
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...

Comparative analysis of machine learning models for coronary artery disease prediction with optimized feature selection.

International journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major global cause of death, necessitating early, accurate prediction for better management. Traditional diagnostics are often invasive, costly, and less accessible. Machine learning (ML) offers a non-in...

Divergent Immune Pathways in Coronary Artery Disease and Aortic Stenosis: The Role of Chronic Inflammation and Senescence.

International journal of molecular sciences
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, with growing evidence linking immune dysregulation to its pathogenesis. Aortic stenosis often coexists with CAD (ASCAD), representing an advanced disease f...

Two birds with one stone: pre-TAVI coronary CT angiography combined with FFR helps screen for coronary stenosis.

BMC medical imaging
OBJECTIVES: Since coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common comorbidity in patients with aortic valve stenosis, invasive coronary angiography (ICA) can be avoided if significant CAD can be screened with the non-invasive coronary CT angiography (cCTA)...

Direct evaluation of antiplatelet therapy in coronary artery disease by comprehensive image-based profiling of circulating platelets.

Nature communications
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death globally. Antiplatelet therapy remains crucial in preventing and treating CAD-associated thrombotic complications, but it concurrently amplifies the risk of bleeding. Unfortunately, traditiona...

Reduced blood EPAC1 protein levels as a marker of severe coronary artery disease: the role of hypoxic foam cell-transformed smooth muscle cells.

Journal of translational medicine
BACKGROUND: Vascular smooth muscle cells loaded with cholesterol (foam-VSMCs) play a crucial role in the progression of human atherosclerosis. Exchange Protein Directly Activated by cAMP 1 (EPAC1) is a critical protein in the regulation of vascular t...

Fast and automatic coronary artery segmentation using nnU-Net for non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance coronary angiography.

The international journal of cardiovascular imaging
Non-contrast enhanced magnetic resonance coronary angiography (MRCA) is a promising coronary heart disease screening modality. However, its clinical application is hindered by inherent limitations, including low spatial resolution and insufficient co...

Optimising coronary imaging decisions with machine learning: an external validation study.

Open heart
BACKGROUND: Exclusion of coronary stenosis in individuals with suggestive symptoms is challenging. Cardiac CT or coronary angiography is often used but is inefficient and costly and involves risks. Sex-stratified algorithms based on electronic health...
