Risk Factors for Ankle Brachial Index and Carotid Artery Stenosis in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) significantly increases the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Ankle brachial index (ABI) and carotid artery stenosis are non-invasive indicators of generalized atherosclerosis. This study aimed to explore the

A 10‐convolutional neural network ensemble using transfer learning and layer freezing analyzes 400 Doppler‐ultrasound spectrograms to distinguish speckle, artifact, and ESs. Soft and hard voting drive performance to 96.7% accuracy and 96.5% F1, highlighting a practical route for early embolus detection and stroke‐risk mitigation.

Association Between Vasomotor Symptoms and Ischemic Stroke: A Case‐Control Study
Menopause is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in women, with a significant increase in stroke incidence following menopause. Vasomotor symptoms are characteristic manifestations of the perimenopausal and postmenopausal phases. This case‐control study demonstrates that menopausal vasomotor symptoms are independently associated with an increased ...

A Comparison of Coupling Strategies for 1D–3D Simulations of Coronary Hemodynamics
Various 1D–3D coupling strategies combining a one‐dimensional (1D) pulse wave propagation model with three‐dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) were evaluated for numerous types of complex synthetic coronary lesion geometries. Steady‐state simulations driven by mean flow showed no discrepancy with transient simulations in predicting ...
