Relationship between Coronary Artery Calcium Score and Coronary Stenosis
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.

Identification of coronary artery stenosis based on hybrid segmentation and feature fusion
Automatika, 2023 Coronary artery disease has been the utmost mutual heart disease in the past decades. Various research is going on to prevent this disease. Obstructive CAD occurs when one or more of the coronary arteries which supply blood to myocardium are narrowed ...
