Coronary angiography of the ex‐situ beating donor heart in a portable organ care system
Abstract Objectives To determine safety and feasibility of ex‐situ coronary angiography. Background To cater for the perpetually growing demand for heart donors, interest in donation following circulatory death (DCD) has been rekindled. Further pursuit of donor pool expansion has led to eligibility extension to “marginal” donors who are at higher risk ...

Exploring the Interplay of Left Coronary Tree Anatomy and Haemodynamics: Implications for Plaque Formation [PDF]
The link between atherosclerosis and blood flow-induced haemodynamic luminal shear stresses is well established. However, this understanding has not been translated into clinical practice because of the interdependent effects of the complex coronary anatomy and a multitude of potential haemodynamic metrics, which have been challenging to delineate ...

Abstract Background In patients with some cardiovascular disease conditions, slightly elevated body mass index (BMI) is associated with a lower mortality risk (termed “obesity paradox”). It is uncertain, however, if this obesity paradox exists in patients who have had invasive cardiology procedures.

Histological Analysis of Coronary Atherosclerosis at Division: A Cadaveric Study
Background: Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of mortality in India and it is predominately due to atherosclerosis. The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of atherosclerosis in coronary arteries without a history of ...

Relationship Between Lifelong Exercise Volume and Coronary Atherosclerosis in Athletes
Background: Higher levels of physical activity are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events. Nevertheless, there is debate on the dose-response relationship of exercise and cardiovascular disease outcomes and whether high volumes of exercise

Automated Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis Detection and Weakly Supervised Localization on Coronary CT Angiography with a Deep 3-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]
We propose a fully automated algorithm based on a deep learning framework enabling screening of a coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) examination for confident detection of the presence or absence of coronary artery atherosclerosis.

A novel approach for the automated segmentation and volume quantification of cardiac fats on computed tomography [PDF]
The deposits of fat on the surroundings of the heart are correlated to several health risk factors such as atherosclerosis, carotid stiffness, coronary artery calcification, atrial fibrillation and many others. These deposits vary unrelated to obesity, which reinforces its direct segmentation for further quantification.

Serum Trimethylamine-N-Oxide is Elevated in CKD and Correlates with Coronary Atherosclerosis Burden.
Trimethlyamine-N-oxide (TMAO) was recently identified as a promoter of atherosclerosis. Patients with CKD exhibit accelerated development of atherosclerosis; however, no studies have explored the relationship between TMAO and atherosclerosis formation in
