Coronary dominance pattern: An angiography-based preliminary report from Eastern India
We did a retrospective analysis of 102 coronary angiograms for coronary dominance. Right-dominant circulation was seen in 62 (60.8%) patients, whereas left-dominant and codominant circulation was seen in 25 (24.5%) and 15 (14.7%) patients, respectively ...

THE CONDITION OF DISTAL AORTA AFTER PROXIMAL RECONSTRUCTION FOR DISSECTION IN MARFAN SYNDROME
Marfan syndrome is a disease associated with high prevalence of aorta-related morbidity and mortality. Dissections and ruptures of thoracal aorta (ThAo) lead to decreased life duration in persons with Marfan syndrome with mediana at 30 year-old.Aim.

LONG-TERM RESULTS OF THE VALVE-SAVING SURGERY IN MARFAN SYNDROME PATIENTS
The main causes of mortality and morbidity in Marfan syndrome patients are cardiovascular complications. The Bentall DeBono operation for long time has been a gold standard treatment for this pathology.Aim. To present the obvious benefits of valve-saving

Impaired coronary blood flow at higher heart rates during atrial fibrillation: investigation via multiscale modelling [PDF]
Background. Different mechanisms have been proposed to relate atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary flow impairment, even in absence of relevant coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the underlying hemodynamics remains unclear. Aim of the present work is to computationally explore whether and to what extent ventricular rate during AF affects the ...

Automatic extraction of coronary arteries using deep learning in invasive coronary angiograms [PDF]
Accurate extraction of coronary arteries from invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is important in clinical decision-making for the diagnosis and risk stratification of coronary artery disease (CAD). In this study, we develop a method using deep learning to automatically extract the coronary artery lumen. Methods.

AGMN: Association Graph-based Graph Matching Network for Coronary Artery Semantic Labeling on Invasive Coronary Angiograms [PDF]
Semantic labeling of coronary arterial segments in invasive coronary angiography (ICA) is important for automated assessment and report generation of coronary artery stenosis in the computer-aided diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Inspired by the training procedure of interventional cardiologists for interpreting the structure of coronary ...
