We present an efficient realization of recent work on unique geodesic paths between tree shapes for the application of matching coronary arteries to a standard model of coronary anatomy in order to label the coronary arteries. Automatically labeled coronary arteries would speed reporting for physicians. The efficiency of the approach and the quality of the results are enhanced using the relative position of detected cardiac structures. We explain how to efficiently compute the geodesic paths between tree shapes using Dijkstra's algorithm and we present a methodology to account for missing side branches during matching. For nearly all labels our approach shows promise compared with recent work and we results for 8 additional labels.

Background: Increasing evidence shows a link between arterial calcification in the heart-brain axis and cognitive performance. However, how calcification relates to acceleration of cognitive changes, and which specific cognitive domains are mostly affected, remains unclear. We assessed the impact of calcification in major arteries between the heart and brain on cognitive decline and focused on different cognitive domains.

Material And Methods: The study included patients with any type of ACS and obstructive coronary artery disease confirmed by coronary angiography. A quantitative analysis of coronary angiography data was performed with an assessment of the number of CAs with significant stenosis and calculation of the SYNTAX score.
Aim: To evaluate characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques (ASP) remaining after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).
Material And Methods: Among 249 patients (193 men) with ACS aged 58±10 years, 183 (73.5%) had myocardial infarction, 66 (26.

Department of Cardiology, Tokyo Medical University Hachioji Medical Center, Japan (T. Kubo, N.T.).
Background: Limited large-scale, real-world data exist on the prevalence and clinical impact of discordance between fractional flow reserve (FFR) and nonhyperemic pressure ratios (NHPRs).
Methods: The J-PRIDE registry (Clinical Outcomes of Japanese Patients With Coronary Artery Disease Assessed by Resting Indices and Fractional Flow Reserve: A Prospective Multicenter Registry) prospectively enrolled 4304 lesions in 3200 patients from 20 Japanese centers. The lesions were classified into FFR+/NHPR-, FFR-/NHPR+, FFR+/NHPR+, or FFR-/NHPR groups according to cutoff values of 0.
