BACKGROUNDCeramides are sphingolipids that play causative roles in diabetes and heart disease, with their serum levels measured clinically as biomarkers of cardiovascular disease (CVD).METHODSWe performed targeted lipidomics on serum samples from ind...
AIMS: Symptom-based pretest probability scores that estimate the likelihood of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in stable chest pain have moderate accuracy. We sought to develop a machine learning (ML) model, utilizing clinical factors and t...
BACKGROUND: Coronary inflammation induces dynamic changes in the balance between water and lipid content in perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), as captured by perivascular Fat Attenuation Index (FAI) in standard coronary CT angiography (CCTA). Howeve...
We developed machine learning methods to identify fibrolipidic and fibrocalcific A-lines in intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images using a comprehensive set of handcrafted features. We incorporated features developed in previous st...
Automatic and accurate segmentation of intravascular optical coherence tomography imagery is of great importance in computer-aided diagnosis and in treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, this task has not been well addressed for two reasons. ...

OBJECTIVE: Knowledge-based iterative model reconstruction (IMR) yields diagnostically acceptable image quality in low-dose static computed tomography (CT). We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of IMR in dynamic myocardial computed tomography perfusio...
OBJECTIVES: Cancer has been proposed as a cardiovascular risk factor. We aimed to assess the cardiovascular risk profile and coronary angiography (CA) findings of cancer patients and compare them to those of patients without cancer.
