The association of preoperative cardiac stress testing with 30-day death and myocardial infarction among patients undergoing kidney transplantation [PDF]
, 2019 BACKGROUND:Although periodic cardiac stress testing is commonly used to screen patients on the waiting list for kidney transplantation for ischemic heart disease, there is little evidence to support this practice.

Deep Learning methods for automatic evaluation of delayed enhancement-MRI. The results of the EMIDEC challenge [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 A key factor for assessing the state of the heart after myocardial infarction (MI) is to measure whether the myocardium segment is viable after reperfusion or revascularization therapy. Delayed enhancement-MRI or DE-MRI, which is performed several minutes after injection of the contrast agent, provides high contrast between viable and nonviable ...

Comorbid CAD and Ventricular Hypertrophy Compromise The Perfusion of Myocardial Tissue at Subcritical Stenosis of Epicardial Coronaries [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: Most studies of CAD revascularization have been based on and reported according to angiographic criteria which don't consider the relation between the resulting effective flow distal to the stenosis and the demand of a hypertrophied myocardial tissue.

Outcome of very elderly (octogenarians) patients with coronary artery disease, all diagnosed by coronary angiography [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Women with ischemic heart disease (IHD) typically present less severe coronary artery atherosclerosis. Despite that, as compared with men, women maintain a worse outcome.

A new approach to extracting coronary arteries and detecting stenosis in invasive coronary angiograms [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In stable coronary artery disease (CAD), reduction in mortality and/or myocardial infarction with revascularization over medical therapy has not been reliably achieved. Coronary arteries are usually extracted to perform stenosis detection. We aim to develop an automatic algorithm by deep learning to extract coronary arteries from ICAs.In this study, a ...
