Triple-rule-out (TRO) computed tomographic (CT) angiography can provide a cost-effective
evaluation of the coronary arteries, aorta, pulmonary arteries, and adjacent intrathoracic …

Objective To systematically investigate the literature for the influence of sublingual
nitroglycerin administration on coronary diameter, the number of evaluable segments, image …

Objectives: We sought to determine the prognostic and incremental value of coronary artery
disease (CAD) severity, coronary atherosclerosis, and left ventricular ejection fraction …

Objective To assess the feasibility of applying a deep learning-based denoising technique to
coronary CT angiography (CCTA) along with iterative reconstruction for additional noise …

OBJECTIVE. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) computed from standard coronary CT scans
(FFRCT) is a novel noninvasive method for determining the functional significance of …

Myocardial fractional flow reserve (FFR), an important index of coronary stenosis, is
measured by a pressure sensor guidewire. The determination of FFR, only based on the …

Objective Inflammation is a key mechanism of atherosclerosis. White blood cells (WBCs)
play a pivotal role in the inflammatory process. We investigated the relationships between …

For selected indications, coronary computed tomographic (CT) angiography is an
established clinical technology for evaluation in patients suspected of having or known to …

DKK1 modulates Wnt signaling, which is involved in the atherosclerosis. However, no data
exist regarding the usefulness of measuring serum DKK1 concentration in predicting …
