The coronary angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) curve, referred to as the Angio-FFR curve, is crucial for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The invasive FFR is the diagnostic gold standard for determining functional sig...
INTRODUCTION: About one-third of adults in the USA have some grade of hepatic steatosis. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans contain more information than currently reported. We previously reported new artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms applied ...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of ill health and death worldwide. Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) is the first-line investigation to detect CAD in symptomatic patients. This diagnostic approach risks greater second-li...
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a common pediatric vasculitis, with coronary artery lesions (CALs) representing its most severe complication. Early identification of high-risk patients, including those with disease resistant to first-line treatments, is ess...

We previously demonstrated that a deep learning (DL) model of myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging improved accuracy for detection of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to improve the clinical translatability of this artificial intelli...
BACKGROUND: Coronary plaque features are imaging biomarkers of cardiovascular risk, but less is known about sex-specific patterns in their prognostic value. This study aimed to define sex differences in the coronary atherosclerotic phenotypes assesse...
BACKGROUND: Surrogate insulin resistance (IR) indices are simpler and more practical alternatives to insulin-based IR indicators for clinical use. This study explored the association between surrogate IR indices, including triglyceride-glucose index ...
Every year, Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) claims lives of over a million people. CAD occurs when the coronary arteries, responsible for supplying oxygenated blood to the heart, get occluded due to plaque deposits on their inner walls. The most critic...

Invasive coronary physiology is underused and carries risks/costs. Artificial Intelligence (AI) might enable non-invasive physiology from invasive coronary angiography (CAG), possibly outperforming humans, but has seldom been explored, especially for...
Atherosclerosis (AS) is increasingly recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease that significantly compromises vascular health and serves as a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases. KCTD10, a protein implicated in a variety of biological pro...
