Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) is an important but difficult to obtain measure of arterial stiffness and an independent predictor of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. The objective of this study was to develop a predictive ...
We propose a classification method for distinguishing atrial fibrillation from sinus rhythm in pulse-wave measurements obtained with a blood pressure monitor. This method combines recurrence-based plots with convolutional neural networks. Moreover, w...

Aging contributes as a major nonreversible risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This underscores the emergence of Vascular Age (VA) as a promising alternative metric to evaluate an individual's cardiovascular risk and overall health. This study ex...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to establish and validate a deep learning model to screen vascular aging using retinal fundus images. Although vascular aging is considered a novel cardiovascular risk factor, the assessment methods are currentl...
