BILATERAL RENAL ARTERY STENOSIS IN A HYPERTENSIVE LUPUS PATIENT WITHOUT RENAL DYSFUNCTION: A CASE REPORT [PDF]
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with a high prevalence of atherosclero-sis and an enhanced cardiovascular mortality. In adult subjects, several studies have shown the coexistence of SLE and renal artery stenosis, most of them with ...

The prevalence of resistant arterial hypertension and secondary causes in a cohort of hypertensive patients: a single center experience [PDF]
The prevalence of resistant hypertension (RHT) still remains unknown. Aim of the study was to investigate in a large cohort of hypertensive patients the prevalence of RHT, and to identify in these patients the secondary forms of arterial hypertension (SH)

SSASS: Semi-Supervised Approach for Stenosis Segmentation [PDF]
Coronary artery stenosis is a critical health risk, and its precise identification in Coronary Angiography (CAG) can significantly aid medical practitioners in accurately evaluating the severity of a patient's condition. The complexity of coronary artery structures combined with the inherent noise in X-ray images poses a considerable challenge to this ...

A Recurrent CNN for Automatic Detection and Classification of Coronary Artery Plaque and Stenosis in Coronary CT Angiography [PDF]
Various types of atherosclerotic plaque and varying grades of stenosis could lead to different management of patients with coronary artery disease. Therefore, it is crucial to detect and classify the type of coronary artery plaque, as well as to detect and determine the degree of coronary artery stenosis.

Automated Detection of Coronary Artery Stenosis in X-ray Angiography using Deep Neural Networks [PDF]
Coronary artery disease leading up to stenosis, the partial or total blocking of coronary arteries, is a severe condition that affects millions of patients each year. Automated identification and classification of stenosis severity from minimally invasive procedures would be of great clinical value, but existing methods do not match the accuracy of ...
