Intracoronary (IC) imaging-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves clinical outcomes in patients with high clinical and anatomical risk when compared to interventions guided by angiography alone. Recent Class I recommendations for th...
INTRODUCTION: Early detection of carotid plaque prevents stroke and myocardial infarction. Individuals with fatty liver might be at an increased risk of developing carotid plaque, yet limited access to carotid artery ultrasound underscores the need f...
The Fat Attenuation Index (FAI) surrounding the coronary arteries, a sensitive biomarker for coronary inflammation, can be measured through standard Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA). The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences...
Aim To develop an optimal method for automated segmentation of atherosclerotic plaque structural components in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images using an ensemble of deep learning neural network models based on a comparison of nine art...
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue is gaining increasing interest as a cardiometabolic imaging biomarker, but its exact role in coronary artery disease is not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between epicardial ad...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the most common cause of death worldwide. Carotid plaque is an indicator of subclinical CVDs. Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a risk factor for atherosclerotic CVDs. We aimed to...
Atherosclerotic plaques are complex and heterogeneous structures, originating as fatty streaks in the vasculature and formed by the accumulation of lipids and foam cells. Over time, these lesions progress as inflammation, smooth muscle cell prolifera...
Atherosclerosis is a primary cause of cardiovascular disease, with plaque viscoelasticity reflecting mechanical properties related to stability and acute event risk. However, existing viscoelastic measurement devices struggle to meet intravascular mi...
INTRODUCTION: Most acute coronary syndromes (ACS) originate from coronary plaques that are angiographically mild and not flow limiting. These lesions, often characterised by thin-cap fibroatheroma, large lipid cores and macrophage infiltration, are t...
BACKGROUND: Early detection of vulnerable carotid plaques is critical for stroke prevention. This study aimed to develop a machine learning model based on routine blood tests and derived indices to predict plaque vulnerability and assess sex-specific...
