Spectrum of coronary artery disease in seropositive syphilis patients in the modern era

Journal of Clinical and Preventive Cardiology, 2022
Context: Cardiovascular manifestations of tertiary syphilis include aortitis, aortic aneurysm, aortic regurgitation, and coronary ostial stenosis. There are few reported cases of coronary aneurysms and coronary dissection.

Quantifying the risk of heart disease following acute ischaemic stroke: a meta-analysis of over 50 000 participants [PDF]

, 2015
Objective Following an acute stroke, there is a high risk of recurrence. However, the leading cause of mortality following a stroke is due to coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI) but that risk has not been robustly quantified.

The relationship between radiation doses to coronary arteries and location of coronary stenosis requiring intervention in breast cancer survivors

Radiation Oncology, 2019
To assess the relationship between radiation doses to the coronary arteries (CAs) and location of a coronary stenosis that required intervention after three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) for breast cancer (BC). The study population consisted

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 a coronary artery disease. Therefore, it is crucial to detect and classify the type of coronary artery plaque, as well as to detect

Use of the Instantaneous Wave-free Ratio or Fractional Flow Reserve in PCI [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Coronary revascularization guided by fractional flow reserve (FFR) is associated with better patient outcomes after the procedure than revascularization guided by angiography alone.

Impact of competitive flow on wall shear stress in coronary surgery: computational fluid dynamics of a LIMA-LAD model [PDF]

, 2010
Competitive flow from native coronary vessels is considered a major factor in the failure of coronary bypass grafts. However, the pathophysiological effects are not fully understood.

Identification of Flow-Limiting Coronary Stenosis With PCS: A New Cost-Effective Index Derived From the Product of Corrected TIMI Frame Count and Percent Diameter Stenosis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Identifying functional coronary stenosis with simple and cost-effective methods during invasive coronary angiography is still challenging. Corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC) is considered to be the frame count velocity of coronary blood flow ...

Influence of contrast media dose and osmolality on the diagnostic performance of contrast fractional flow reserve [PDF]

, 2017
Background—Contrast fractional flow reserve (cFFR) is a method for assessing functional significance of coronary stenoses, which is more accurate than resting indices and does not require adenosine.

Computational fluid dynamics modeling of symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis may predict risk of stroke recurrence. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundPatients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) of ≥ 70% luminal stenosis are at high risk of stroke recurrence. We aimed to evaluate the relationships between hemodynamics of ICAS revealed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD ...
