Coronary artery calcification (CAC) measurement is a valuable predictor of cardiovascular risk. However, its measurement can be time-consuming and complex, thus driving the desire for artificial intelligence (AI)-based approaches. The aim of this rev...
In recent years, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have become one of the leading causes of mortality globally. At early stages, CVDs appear with minor symptoms and progressively get worse. The majority of people experience symptoms such as exhaustion, ...

Estimation of fractional flow reserve from coronary CTA (FFR-CT) is an established method of assessing the hemodynamic significance of coronary lesions. However, clinical implementation has progressed slowly, partly because of off-site data transfer...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) applied to cardiac imaging may provide improved processing, reading precision and advantages of automation. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score testing is a standard stratification tool that is rapid and highl...
BACKGROUND: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, yet it is frequently asymptomatic in the early stages and hence goes undetected.

Coronary angiography (CAG) is the "gold standard" for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). However, due to the limitation of current imaging methods, the CAG image has low resolution and poor contrast with a lot of artifacts and noise, which mak...
In this article, we focus on the important role of robot-assisted coronary surgery by reporting the successful case of a morbidly obese male (body mass index = 58 kg/m) who presented to our center with severe coronary disease. A 54-year-old morbidly ...

Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a frequent disease of the arteries that supply the surface of the heart muscle. Leaving a severe disease untreated can make it permanent. Computer tomography (CT), which is well known for its ability to quantify...
