Calcified portions of the vessel are detected in the one or more first medical images, The artificial intelligence model is trained for detecting calcified portions of the vessel in the input medical image in the second modality based on the one or more second medical images and the detected ...
The presence of coronary artery calcification is age- and gender-dependent. This calcification is present in 90% of men and 67% of women older than 70; the difference is attributed to the protective effect of estrogen in premenopausal women. The Women's Health Initiative demonstrated a lower me...
Coronary artery calcification refers to the calcification of atherosclerotic lesions in the walls of the coronary arteries, which is associated with inflammation, elevated lipid content, and increased arterial stiffness. It is commonly measured using computed tomography and is a recognized risk factor for...
One of the most common methods for diagnosing coronary artery disease is the use of the coronary artery calcium score CT. However, the current diagnostic method using the coronary artery calcium score CT requires a considerable time, because the radiolog
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a complex disease that causes reduced or absent blood flow in one or more of the arteries that encircle and supply the heart. The disease may be focal or diffuse.
Coronary artery calcification (CAC)Computed tomography (CT)Recent studies have demonstrated a complex interplay between comorbid cardiovascular disease, COVID-19 pathophysiology, and poor clinical outcomes. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) may therefore aid in risk stratification of COVID-19 patients.#...

The value of coronary artery calcium in the elderly population The assessment of coronary calcification may have particular value in the elderly population. The potential for prevention of CHD in older adults is large, since even a small reduction in risk factor levels results in a considerable red...
Dyslipidemia and abnormal cholesterol metabolism are closely related to coronary artery calcification (CAC) and are also critical factors in cardiovascular disease death. In recent years, the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) has been widely used to evaluate vascular sclerosis. This study aimed to inv...
Atherosclerotic disease is characterized by the pathologic process of lipid accumulation and inflammation in the vessel wall, leading to the vessel wall thickening, lumen stenosis, calcification, and in some cases thrombosis [1]. The most important form of atherosclerosis is coronary artery disease (...
