Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) serves as the gold standard for evaluating the functional significance of coronary artery stenosis. However, traditional FFR involves the injection of vasodilator drugs and the utilization of additional guidewires, which...
Deep learning methods are increasingly popular in assisting physicians with diagnosing coronary artery disease and reducing errors caused by subjective judgment. However, accessing and labeling medical imaging data, especially coronary angiography da...

BACKGROUND: Despite evidence supporting use of fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous waves-free ratio (iFR) to improve outcome of patients undergoing coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous coronary intervention, such techniques are stil...
BACKGROUND: Angiographic parameters can facilitate the risk stratification of coronary lesions but remain insufficient in the prediction of future myocardial infarction (MI).
OBJECTIVE: The study evaluates the relationship of coronary stenosis, atherosclerotic plaque characteristics (APCs) and age using artificial intelligence enabled quantitative coronary computed tomographic angiography (AI-QCT).
