A New Approach in Risk Stratification by Coronary CT Angiography. [PDF]
For a decade, coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) has been used as a promising noninvasive modality for the assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) as well as cardiovascular risks.

3D Fusion between Fluoroscopy Angiograms and SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Images to Guide Percutaneous Coronary Intervention [PDF]
Background. Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) in stable coronary artery disease(CAD) is commonly triggered by abnormal myocardial perfusion imaging(MPI). However, due to the possibilities of multivessel disease and variability of coronary artery perfusion distribution, opportunity exists to better align anatomic stenosis with perfusion ...

Investigating myocardial infarction and its effects in patients with urgent medical problems using advanced data mining tools [PDF]
In medical science, it is very important to gather multiple data on different diseases and one of the most important objectives of the data is to investigate the diseases. Myocardial infarction is a serious risk factor in mortality and in previous studies, the main emphasis has been on people with heart disease and measuring the likelihood of ...

AWSnet: An Auto-weighted Supervision Attention Network for Myocardial Scar and Edema Segmentation in Multi-sequence Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Images [PDF]
Multi-sequence cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provides essential pathology information (scar and edema) to diagnose myocardial infarction. However, automatic pathology segmentation can be challenging due to the difficulty of effectively exploring the underlying information from the multi-sequence CMR data. This paper aims to tackle the scar and edema

Detecting and interpreting myocardial infarction using fully convolutional neural networks [PDF]
Objective: We aim to provide an algorithm for the detection of myocardial infarction that operates directly on ECG data without any preprocessing and to investigate its decision criteria. Approach: We train an ensemble of fully convolutional neural networks on the PTB ECG dataset and apply state-of-the-art attribution methods.

Meta-analysis of death and myocardial infarction in the DEFINE-FLAIR and iFR-SWEDEHEART trials: a hypothesis generating note of caution [PDF]
In patients with coronary heart disease, revascularization can improve symptoms and in certain high-risk subgroups may improve prognosis. Coronary angiography provides anatomical information and the physiological significance of a stenosis can be ...

New Strategies for Surgical Myocardial Revascularization
We summarize the evidence on the new strategies for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Hybrid CABG implies surgical grafting of the left anterior descending artery and percutaneous treatment of the other target vessels, with the promise of combining

Total Arterial Myocardial Revascularization [PDF]
Eighty-five patients underwent myocardial revascularization using artery grafts alone and were followed up for 30 months. Twenty-seven patients (31.7%) had single vessel disease, 28 patients (32.94%) had two-vessel disease and 30 patients (35.3%) had ...

Effects of sacubitril/valsartan in the PARADIGM-HF Trial (Prospective Comparison of ARNI with ACEI to Determine Impact on Global Mortality and Morbidity in Heart Failure) according to background therapy [PDF]
Background—In the PARADIGM-HF trial (Prospective Comparison of ARNI with ACEI to Determine Impact on Global Mortality and Morbidity in Heart Failure), the angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor sacubitril/valsartan was more effective than the ...
