BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) causes substantial death toll in the United States and worldwide. While traditional methods for CAD mortality prediction are based on established risk factors, they have significant limitations in accuracy, a...
BACKGROUND: The Systemic Coagulation-Inflammation index (SCI) is an innovative hematological metric that accurately reflects both coagulopathic and inflammatory dynamics. In this paper, the objective of this paper is to explain the prognostic impact ...

AIMS: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a first-line investigation for chest pain in patients with suspected obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). However, many acute cardiac events occur in the absence of obstructive CAD. We as...
BACKGROUND: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has emerged as the first-line noninvasive imaging test for patients at high risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). When combined with machine learning (ML), it provides more valid evidence i...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. The most widely used and precise method for diagnosing CAD is invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an index of the functional severity of coronary...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) commonly occurs and elevates the risk of cardiovascular events and mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The underlying pathogenesis of CKD-related CAD is believed to be closely linked to inflammatory respo...

PURPOSE: Identifying and quantifying coronary artery calcification (CAC) is crucial for preoperative planning, as it helps to estimate both the complexity of the 2D coronary angiography (2DCA) procedure and the risk of developing intraoperative compl...
INTRODUCTION: Coronary artery disease is the main cause of mortality worldwide mandating early detection, appropriate treatment, and follow-up. Noninvasive cardiac imaging techniques allow detection of obstructive coronary heart disease by direct vis...
