AIMS: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a first-line investigation for chest pain in patients with suspected obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). However, many acute cardiac events occur in the absence of obstructive CAD. We as...
BACKGROUND: In the context of escalating global mental health challenges, adolescent suicide has become a critical public health concern. In current clinical practices, considerable challenges are encountered in the early identification of suicide ri...
BACKGROUND: Glucose metabolism disorders (GMDs) are a serious global public health issue, characterized by a high incidence rate and youthfulness. GMDs contribute to the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), meanwhile with the re...
BACKGROUND: Mesenteric malperfusion (MMP) is an uncommon but devastating complication of acute aortic dissection (AAD) that combines 2 life-threatening conditions-aortic dissection and acute mesenteric ischemia. The complex pathophysiology of MMP pos...
The rising prevalence of nervous system disorders has become a significant global health challenge, with environmental pollutants identified as key contributors. However, the large number of environmental related compounds, combined with the low effi...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Accurate near-term prediction of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias would enable pre-emptive actions to prevent sudden cardiac arrest/death. A deep learning-enabled single-lead ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) may identif...
