Coronary ostial stenosis [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1988 From January 1970 to December 1986, 2.7% (228/8509) of all patients having coronary artery bypass grafting had atherosclerotic coronary ostial stenosis of 50% or more. There were 126 males (55%) and 102 females (45%) with mean ages of 60.2 +/- 9.0 and 59.2 +/- 10.2 years (P = NS), respectively.

Relationship between neutrophils to HDL-C ratio and severity of coronary stenosis
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021 Background Lipid and inflammatory molecules play a key role in the development of inflammation. Neutrophil counts are used as markers of inflammation duration, and HDL-C is used as an anti-atherosclerosis component.

A Recurrent CNN for Automatic Detection and Classification of Coronary Artery Plaque and Stenosis in Coronary CT Angiography [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, 2018 Various types of atherosclerotic plaque and varying grades of stenosis could lead to different management of patients with coronary artery disease. Therefore, it is crucial to detect and classify the type of coronary artery plaque, as well as to detect and determine the degree of coronary artery stenosis.

Relationship between Coronary Artery Calcium Score and Coronary Stenosis [PDF]
Cardiology Research and Practice, 2023 Background. The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) is commonly employed to quantify the degree of calcification in coronary atherosclerosis. Indeed, increased coronary stenosis severity is associated with a progressive increase in CACS.

Deep learning analysis of the myocardium in coronary CT angiography for identification of patients with functionally significant coronary artery stenosis [PDF]
, 2017 In patients with coronary artery stenoses of intermediate severity, the functional significance needs to be determined. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement, performed during invasive coronary angiography (ICA), is most often used in clinical practice.
