Coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus [PDF]
Much of the excess mortality in diabetic subjects is due to cardiovascular disease. Diabetic subjects are at increased risk of developing coronary artery disease and have a higher case fatality after acute myocardial infarction and after unstable angina.

Machine Learning Framework to Identify Individuals at Risk of Rapid Progression of Coronary Atherosclerosis: From the PARADIGM Registry. [PDF]
Background Rapid coronary plaque progression (RPP) is associated with incident cardiovascular events. To date, no method exists for the identification of individuals at risk of RPP at a single point in time.

Segmentation of Coronary Artery Stenosis in X-ray Angiography using Mamba Models [PDF]
Coronary artery disease stands as one of the primary contributors to global mortality rates. The automated identification of coronary artery stenosis from X-ray images plays a critical role in the diagnostic process for coronary heart disease. This task is challenging due to the complex structure of coronary arteries, intrinsic noise in X-ray images ...

YOLO-Angio: An Algorithm for Coronary Anatomy Segmentation [PDF]
Coronary angiography remains the gold standard for diagnosis of coronary artery disease, the most common cause of death worldwide. While this procedure is performed more than 2 million times annually, there remain few methods for fast and accurate automated measurement of disease and localization of coronary anatomy.

BACKGROUND Balloon-expandable coronary-artery stents were developed to prevent coronary restenosis after coronary angioplasty. These devices hold coronary vessels open at sites that have been dilated. However, it is unknown whether stenting improves long-

Considering the Risks and Costs of Solid Organ Xenotransplantation
This perspective discusses the rationale, risks, and costs of whole‐organ xenotransplantation. It considers alternative strategies to obviate the demand for transplants and optimize allotransplantation systems and practices that do not impose xenotransplantation's harms and risks, and whether they are the most ethical and effective means to increase ...
