BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization reported that cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death worldwide. On average, one person dies of heart disease every 26 min worldwide. Deep learning approaches are characterized by the appropr...
BACKGROUND: Machine-Learning Computed Tomography-Based Fractional Flow Reserve (CT-FFR) is a novel tool for the assessment of hemodynamic relevance of coronary artery stenoses. We examined the diagnostic performance of CT-FFR compared to stress perfu...

Traditional approach for predicting coronary artery disease (CAD) is based on demographic data, symptoms such as chest pain and dyspnea, and comorbidity related to cardiovascular diseases. Usually, these variables are analyzed by logistic regression ...
BACKGROUND: To explore the characteristics of myocardial textures on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images in patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, a classification model was established, and the diagnostic effectiven...
IMPORTANCE: Anticipating the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) when initiating antithrombotic treatment (oral antiplatelets or anticoagulants) is limited by existing risk prediction models. Machine learning algorithms may result in superior pre...
Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is a primary cause of heart problems such as angina and myocardial ischemia. The detection of the stage of CVD is vital for the prevention of medical complications related to the heart, as they can lead to heart muscle de...
After an ischemic event, disruptive changes in the healthy myocardium may gradually develop and may ultimately turn into fibrotic scar. While these structural changes have been described by conventional imaging modalities mostly on a macroscopic scal...
INTRODUCTION: Cardiac [F]FDG-PET is widely used for viability testing in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease. Guidelines recommend injection of 200-350 MBq [F]FDG, however, a reduction of radiation exposure has become increasingly important,...
