Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, and coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major contributor. Early-stage CAD can progress if undiagnosed and left untreated, leading to myocardial infarction (MI) that may induce irre...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can assist in both functional and structural analysis of the heart, but due to hardware and physical limitations, high-resolution MRI scans is time consuming and peak signal-to-noise ...
BACKGROUND: Free text in electronic health records (EHR) may contain additional phenotypic information beyond structured (coded) information. For major health events - heart attack and death - there is a lack of studies evaluating the extent to which...
BACKGROUND: The ability to predict readmission accurately after hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is limited in current statistical models. Machine-learning (ML) methods have shown improved predictive ability in various clinical c...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most threatening cardiovascular diseases for human beings, which can be diagnosed by electrocardiogram (ECG). Automated detection methods based on ECG focus on extracting handcrafted ...
Accurate and simultaneous segmentation and full quantification (all indices are required in a clinical assessment) of the myocardial infarction (MI) area are crucial for early diagnosis and surgical planning. Current clinical methods remain subject t...
Survival analyses of populations and the establishment of prognoses for individual patients are important activities in the practice of medicine. Standard survival models, such as the Cox proportional hazards model, require extensive feature engineer...
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) could provide improved detection of regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMAs) and differentiate among groups of coronary infarction territories from conventional ...
Background Renal impairment is common in patients with coronary artery disease and, if severe, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging for myocardial infarction (MI) evaluation cannot be performed. Purpose To develop a fully automatic framework for...
Nonlinear fuzzy classification models have better classification performance than linear fuzzy classifiers. In many nonlinear fuzzy classification problems, piecewise-linear fuzzy discriminant functions can approximate nonlinear fuzzy discriminant fu...
