BACKGROUND: We developed an explainable deep-learning (DL)-based classifier to identify flow-limiting coronary artery disease (CAD) by O-15 HO perfusion positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET/CT) and coronary CT angiography (CTA) imagi...

Coronary artery calcification (CAC) on lung cancer screening low-dose chest CT (LDCT) is a cardiovascular risk marker. South Korea was the first Asian country to initiate a national LDCT lung cancer screening program, although CAC-related outcomes a...
INTRODUCTION: Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (ECR) has proven to be effective and cost-effective dominant treatment option in health care. However, the contribution of well-known risk factors for prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) to p...
We develop and evaluate an artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm that uses pre-rotation atherectomy (RA) intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images to automatically predict regions debulked by RA. A total of 2106 IVUS cross-sections from 60 patien...
INTRODUCTION: The baseline characteristics affecting mortality following percutaneous or surgical revascularization in patients with left main and / or 3‑vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) observed in real‑world practice differ from those establish...

BACKGROUND: Improved survival of patients after acute coronary syndromes, population growth, and overall life expectancy rise have led to a significant increase in the proportion of patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), creating a signi...
BACKGROUND: When treating patients with coronary artery disease and concurrent renal concerns, we often encounter a conundrum: how to achieve a clearer view of vascular details while minimizing the contrast and radiation doses during percutaneous cor...
