BACKGROUND: Machine learning (ML) is able to extract patterns and develop algorithms to construct data-driven models. We use ML models to gain insight into the relative importance of variables to predict obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) usin...
PURPOSE: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score has shown to be an accurate predictor of future cardiovascular events. Early detection by CAC scoring might reduce the number of deaths by cardiovascular disease (CVD). Automatically excluding scans which ...
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the impact of machine learning (ML)-based fractional flow reserve derived from computed tomography (FFR) compared to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) for therapeutic decision-making and patient outcome in patien...

We propose a fully automated algorithm based on a deep learning framework enabling screening of a coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) examination for confident detection of the presence or absence of coronary artery atherosclerosis. The s...
Phonocardiogram (PCG) signals reflect the mechanical activity of the heart. Previous studies have reported that PCG signals contain heart murmurs caused by coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the murmurs caused by CAD are very weak and rarely hea...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the diagnostic performance of deep learning (DL)-based vascular extraction and stenosis detection technology in assessing coronary artery disease (CAD).
OBJECTIVE: To determine the potential impact of on-site CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) on the diagnostic efficiency and effectiveness of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) on CCTA.

Background Rapid coronary plaque progression (RPP) is associated with incident cardiovascular events. To date, no method exists for the identification of individuals at risk of RPP at a single point in time. This study integrated coronary computed to...
