AIMS: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at high risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) related events and are often asymptomatic. The role of cardiac imaging in screening asymptomatic T2DM patients remains controversial, as existing studies are limited by short …

BACKGROUND: The majority of functional ischemia tests in patients with suspected chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) yield normal results. Implementing gatekeepers for patient preselection, such as pretest probability (PTP) and/or coronary artery calcium score (CACS), could reduce the number of normal scan results, …

Background: Despite clinical suspicion, most non-invasive ischemia tests for coronary artery disease (CAD) reveal unremarkable results. Patients with a coronary artery calcium score (CACS) of zero rarely have an abnormal positron emission tomography (PET) and could be deferred from further testing. However, …

BACKGROUND: Despite clinical suspicion, many non-invasive tests for coronary artery disease (CAD) are normal. Coronary artery calcification score (CACS) is a well-validated method to detect and risk stratify CAD. Patients with zero calcium score (ZCS) rarely have abnormal tests. Therefore, aims were …

Abstract Background Coronary calcium score (CAC) is a well-validated method to detect coronary artery disease (CAD). A significant number of patients referred for functional ischaemia tests reveal a normal result. CAC could be a potential gatekeeper to reduce unnecessary testing. Purpose Study …

Abstract Background Pre-test probability (PTP) assessment is crucial in the assessment of patients with suspected ischaemia/coronary artery disease. Presently there is no established role for artificial intelligence in estimating PTP. Purpose Comparison of a recently developed memetic pattern based algorithm (MPA) with …
