BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence-guided quantitative computed tomography ischemia (AI-QCT) is a novel machine-learning method for predicting myocardial ischemia from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). This observational cohort study ...
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the biggest causes of mortality worldwide. Risk stratification for early detection is essential for the primary prevention of CAD. QRISK3 is known to overestimate future CAD risk in some populations...

BACKGROUND: Aortic valve stenosis with coronary artery disease (AS-CAD) represents a common yet complex cardiovascular comorbidity, characterized by multifactorial pathogenesis and a lack of specific serum biomarkers. These limitations hinder early d...
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue is gaining increasing interest as a cardiometabolic imaging biomarker, but its exact role in coronary artery disease is not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between epicardial ad...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review explores the unique anatomy and pathophysiology of pericardial fat (including both epicardial adipose tissue [EAT] and paracardial fat), its clinical significance, and its potential role as a therapeutic target. It addr...
BACKGROUND: Deep learning (DL) models can quantify coronary artery calcification using non-gated chest CT scans. However, the prognostic value of a DL-based coronary artery calcium score (DL-CACS) for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (M...
BACKGROUND: Vascular inflammation plays a critical role in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). Measurement of coronary inflammation from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) using the perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) ...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has gained increasing adoption across North America and Europe for the evaluation of symptomatic suspected or established ischemic heart disease (IHD).
Multimodal datasets offer valuable support for developing Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS), which leverage predictive models to enhance clinicians' decision-making. In this observational study, we present a dataset of suspected Coronary Arter...
BACKGROUND: A significant number of individuals undergoing coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for suspected (CAD) have nonobstructive or no CAD. There is a need for clinically proven models that can predict the pretest probability of sta...
