Diagnostic Value of Coronary CT Angiography With Use of Left Coronary Bifurcation Angle in Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Atherosclerosis generally occurs in the blood vessels with angulation or curvature, however, association between coronary bifurcation angle and coronary artery disease needs to be further clarified when compared to normal patients. Objectives:

Fused Segmentation of Geometric Models for Myocardium and Coronary Artery via Medial Axis [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Coronary arteries and their branches supply blood to myocardium. The obstruction of coronary arteries results in significant loss of myocardium, called acute myocardial infarction, and the number one cause of death globally. Hence, quantification of the regional amount of heart muscle subtended by obstructed coronary arteries is of critical value in ...

Optimizing Temporal Waveform Analysis: A Novel Pipeline for Efficient Characterization of Left Coronary Artery Velocity Profiles [PDF]
arXivContinuously measured arterial blood velocity can provide insight into physiological parameters and potential disease states. The efficient and effective description of the temporal profiles of arterial velocity is crucial for both clinical practice and research.

The caveats in the diagnosis of anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) [PDF]
, 2010 Anomalous origin of left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is an infrequent, well described, but important anomaly of the coronary origin. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment of the disease can be life saving. However, there are

Ectopic Origin of a Coronary Artery from the Aorta. Sudden Death in 3 of 23 Patients. [PDF]
, 1986 Ectopic origin of a coronary artery from the aorta is uncommon. In the last decade, its importance as a possible cause of sudden death has been documented. Initially, only the left coronary artery was implicated.

CNN-based Landmark Detection in Cardiac CTA Scans [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Fast and accurate anatomical landmark detection can benefit many medical image analysis methods. Here, we propose a method to automatically detect anatomical landmarks in medical images. Automatic landmark detection is performed with a patch-based fully convolutional neural network (FCNN) that combines regression and classification. For any given image

Coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus [PDF]
, 1996 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.

High-Intensity Helical Flow: A Double-Edged Sword in Coronary Artery Haemodynamics [PDF]
arXivThe role of Helical Flow (HF) in human coronary arteries remains uncertain, yet its understanding promises unprecedented insights into atherosclerotic processes. In this study, we investigated the effects of HF and key haemodynamic descriptors in 39 patient-specific left coronary artery trees from the ASOCA dataset, including 20 non-stenosed and 19 ...

Right coronary artery chronic total occlusion in presence of anomalous origin of left coronary artery [PDF]
, 2018 Right sinus origin of left coronary artery is a very uncommon congenital coronary anomaly. The presence of an associated totally occluded right coronary artery represents an exceedingly rare picture.
