BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The neuropeptide catestatin (CST) is an endogenous nicotinic cholinergic antagonist that acts as pleiotropic cardiac protective hormone. This study investigated the association between CST and coronary artery disease (CAD) and th...

OBJECTIVES: To describe and validate an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven structured reporting system by direct comparison of automatically generated reports to results from actual clinical reports generated by nuclear cardiology experts.
Prognostic modelling is important in clinical practice and epidemiology for patient management and research. Electronic health records (EHR) provide large quantities of data for such models, but conventional epidemiological approaches require signifi...
The rapid proliferation of connectivity, availability of ubiquitous computing, miniaturization of sensors and communication technology, have changed healthcare in all its areas, creating the well-known healthcare paradigm of e-Health. In this paper, ...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are increasingly applied to cardiovascular (CV) medicine in arenas ranging from genomics to cardiac imaging analysis. Cardiac Phase Space Tomography Analysis (cPSTA), employing machine-learned linea...
In view of high mortality associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), development of an early predicting tool will be beneficial in reducing the burden of the disease. The database comprising demographic, conventional, folate/xenobiotic genetic ri...
