BACKGROUND: Coronary angiography remains the gold standard for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD), but its invasive nature limits its applicability for widespread screening. Identifying non-invasive molecular markers could improve CAD classific...
Coronary artery disease involves the narrowing of coronary vessels due to atherosclerosis and is currently the leading cause of death worldwide. The gold standard for its diagnosis is the fractional flow reserve (FFR) examination, which measures the ...
Coronary microvascular disease (CMD), particularly prevalent among women, is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, making clinical screening vital for effective management. However, limited publicly available screening-level data hinders...
Currently, plaque segmentation in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images of coronary arteries is primarily carried out manually by physicians, and the accuracy of existing automatic segmentation techniques needs further improvement. To furnish eff...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of deep learning-based post-hoc noise reduction (DLNR) on image quality, coronary artery disease reporting and data system (CAD-RADS) assessment, and diagnostic performance in quarter-dose versus full-dose coronary CT ...
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is an important method for cardiovascular risk assessment. While artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied to automate CAC scoring in calcium scoring computed tomography (CSCT), its application to...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are particularly susceptible to coronary atherosclerosis, which can be assessed using computed tomography (CT)-based coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. However, such a costly examination mi...
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major global cause of death, necessitating early, accurate prediction for better management. Traditional diagnostics are often invasive, costly, and less accessible. Machine learning (ML) offers a non-in...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, with growing evidence linking immune dysregulation to its pathogenesis. Aortic stenosis often coexists with CAD (ASCAD), representing an advanced disease f...
OBJECTIVES: Since coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common comorbidity in patients with aortic valve stenosis, invasive coronary angiography (ICA) can be avoided if significant CAD can be screened with the non-invasive coronary CT angiography (cCTA)...
