In the diagnosis of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), computed tomography (CT) is an accurate, noninvasive alternative to invasive angiography (ICA). However, comparative effectiveness CT and ICA in management CAD reduce frequency major adverse cardiovascular events uncertain.We conducted a pragmatic, randomized trial comparing with as initial diagnostic imaging strategies for guiding treatment patients stable chest pain who had intermediate pretest probability were referred at one...
<h3>SUMMARY:</h3> Identification of carotid artery atherosclerosis is conventionally based on measurements luminal stenosis and surface irregularities using in vivo imaging techniques including sonography, CT MR angiography, digital subtraction angiography. However, histopathologic studies demonstrate considerable differences between plaques with identical degrees indicate that certain plaque features are associated increased risk for ischemic events. The ability to look beyond the lumen...
One in six ischaemic stroke patients has an embolic of undetermined source (ESUS), defined as a with unclear aetiology despite recommended diagnostic evaluation. The overall cardiovascular risk ESUS is high and it important to optimize strategies prevent recurrent other events. aim clinicians when confronted patient not only but also any medical condition identify the actual cause amongst list potential differential diagnoses, order secondary prevention. However, specifically ESUS, this may...
Abstract The introduction of large language models (LLMs) into clinical practice promises to improve patient education and empowerment, thereby personalizing medical care broadening access knowledge. Despite the popularity LLMs, there is a significant gap in systematized information on their use care. Therefore, this systematic review aims synthesize current applications limitations LLMs using data-driven convergent synthesis approach. We searched 5 databases for qualitative, quantitative,...
Importance Rapid digitalization of health care and a dearth digital education for medical students junior physicians worldwide means there is an imperative more training in this dynamic evolving field. Objective To develop evidence-informed, consensus-guided, adaptable competencies framework the design development curricula institutions globally. Evidence Review A core group was assembled to oversee Digital Health Competencies Medical Education (DECODE) framework. First, initial list created...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Ulceration is a severe complication of carotid plaque. The purpose this study was to evaluate the role and diagnostic efficacy multidetector row CT angiography (MDCTA) ultrasound (US) echo color Doppler (US-ECD) in patients with plaque complicated by ulceration through comparison surgical observation. MATERIALS METHODS: From January 2004 October 2005, 237 patients, for total 474 arteries, studied at first US, were analyzed using angiography. A 103 underwent...
The aim of this paper is to describe a novel and completely automated technique for carotid artery (CA) recognition, far (distal) wall segmentation, intima-media thickness (IMT) measurement, which strong clinical tool risk assessment cardiovascular diseases. architecture multiresolution edge snapper (CAMES) consists the following two stages: 1) CA recognition based on combination scale-space statistical classification in framework 2) segmentation lumen-intima (LI) media-adventitia (MA)...
